A federal judge in Baltimore has ruled that a California company called D-Squared can continue sending "pop-up" Internet ads until the matter is decided at trial. Said U.S. District Judge Andre Davis: "It's not clear to me ... if there's substantial injury to consumers. The case had the odor of extortion as it was originally prosecuted ... but it certainly doesn't look like extortion to me." The Federal Trade Commission believes that D-Squared's advertisements caused "substantial injury" to consumers, and FTC attorney Monica Spivack says: "They clearly knew that this practice was in fact causing consumers' computers to crash. The defendant's own marketing material said this." D-Squared attorney Anthony Dain's counter-argument is: "Should our clients be shut down from their best marketing tool and from the tool that best serves the customer, whether they're annoyed or not?"

By the end of 2003, the number of China's Internet users is expected to hit 78 million, writes the China Daily newspaper, citing a report by the Internet Society of China. The article also stated that the number of China's websites is expected to increase to 500,000, and online computers would reach 30 million by the end of the year. Hu Qiheng, chairwoman of the society, was quoted as saying the Internet sector in China still lagged developed countries. The number of Internet users grew an annual 48.5 percent to 68 million people by the end of June, according to the China Internet Network Information Center. The semi-official research center said that China overtook Japan at the end of 2002 as the world's second-largest group of online users, second only to the US.
