Free Ringtones!

February 21st, 2007

Shoemoney has a great tale of how a ringtone affiliate uses nefarious techniques to trick kids into thinking they are getting free ringtones, when in fact they are paying $10/mo.

Believe it or not, that sort of marketing used to be pretty prevalent just a year or so ago. Then it was outlawed and crippled companies like Jambo, which News Corp then soon after bought a majority stake on the cheap. MySpace suing spammers has a lot to do with ringtones as well. And now the state of Florida is taking action against a company called DirtyHippo.com (big late night MTV advertiser as well).

Ahh the wonderful world we live in.
