CNET: Web publishers settle with Gator
The nation's largest news publishers have settled a dispute over an Internet advertising practice in which unauthorized, third-party ads pop up on nytimes.com and other news sites.
Terence Ross, the lead attorney for the publishers, on Friday declined to release terms of the settlement reached this week.
The parent companies of The New York Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post and the digital arms of Knight Ridder and Conde Nast were among news outlets that sued Gator Corp. in June over its pop-up ads.
