Oh geez, first it is already in you terms of Service that you agreed to when you reqested the service. For example, I have Verizon DSL and theirs says, "Changes to Service or Features. Verizon reserves the right to change any of the features, Content or applications of the Service at any time with or without notice to you. etc." They state right there "content" and your most likely does too. Besides, you have the right to cancel, that's included in the TOS too. Second, it is not copyright infringement because the companies are probably doing pop-ups which is additional content or somewhere on the page that was blank already, even if they changed it to put there ad at the top and I doubt that the ISPs are replacing ads to theirs because that would be grounds for court, especially since a lot of sites are ad driven. Third, you already receive a similar system, your TV. regular has almost always had them, additional cable promised they would not do it because you were paying for it and opps they did it anyway - did people notice or were able to anything about it, nope, and premium channels would do it, but they already show enough of their own commercials. If subscribers go down though they may be forced to do it... Anyway, the internet is like the gold rush, companies do it to make money or more money in this case and they will keep digging till they find some.
