This is *news* ?!?

This is not a slight on El Reg, more on the fact that it's taken that long for anyone to flag this in a manner that gets it to court because that's been known for, well, almost as long as FB (and the rest of the asocial bunch) have been spreading these trackers.

There's another fun one floating around: a web developer is selling code that gets you logged with Google Analytics, even if you have it filtered out. In my opinion, that so much misses the point that the idiots deserve an educational court appearance too.
