...also - as far as legal action goes - that won't be needed. We only use frames on traffic we send to your site in order to maintain the user experience of our service. The frames allows us to hand you this traffic, to the original site without altering it, without affecting the ads that you serve, and without scraping any parts of it. We believe that's a very fair tradeoff, but if you still find the frames unacceptable just let us know and we'll promptly stop placing recommended links pointing to your site. Just drop me a note to galai [at] outbrain [dot] com and let me know.
I've not seen any of my links on your widget. I'm speaking in the hypothetical with the legal issues. I've yet to see a fast-growing service on the web that wasn't aggressively/cleverly taking advantage of other people's content. The legal issues around this are interesting to me, which is why I raise them. I've got no interest in suing anyone at the moment, merely hearing how people justify their practices.
