anyone seen this window pop-up yet? Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us I saw it when going to this site.

I've seen it once. I shot off an e-mail to the webmaster that I don't agree with nazi bullshit, and I haven't been back since.

Their loss. Darn.
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My signature is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My signature, without me, is useless. Without my signature, I am useless.

Yes, I've seen it, but only when looking at DRM protected files.

If it pops up when you look at the website, maybe he has embedded Windows Media Player (linked to a file with DRM protection) or something on it?

yup, it does have an embedded Windows Media Player. My main problem with the pop-up window however is that it advertises DRM as a "Security Upgrade".

Well, it *is* a security upgrade, at least from the viewpoint of content distributors :) In the vein of Trusted Computing and all that...

It makes the content provider's security better.

Also, clicking on that picture shot up an ad past the IE popup blocker. Thanks a lot.
