In skimming the story I thought this was pretty funny.

...declined to identify the PPC affiliate that served 98 percent of the Flashback-generated clicks...

I thought PowerPCs were immune but now we find they were responsible! Revenge on Apple for leaving them behind??

Well its nice something positive has happened. Maybe the lack of profit will deter others a little bit. But probably not, greed is a powerful thing.
