Could there not be an argument that unwanted advertising, delivered without warning, is an offence under the computer misuse act. If I go to a site xyz.com I expect, and am prepared to pay the costs (well my institution will pay the costs) of information delivered from that site. It does not necessarilly follow that that I am prepared to accept advertising, which will cost me money (in terms of bytes recieved across/under the Atlantic), from a third party (adverts.pqz.com), to support xyz.com, without warning and a positive acceptance on my part of extra costs.
