Consider this: if you have a blog and you don't have ads on it, what if this technology inserts an ad when a Charter subscriber visits it?
Sounds like they've (either Charter or NebuAd) has created an unlicensed derivative work of your blog.
Imagine your blog gets slashdotted and thousands of Charter subscribers visit your blog and see the ads. Now imagine how much Charter and NebuAd could be liable for given that statutory damages (in the US anyway [US 17 504 c 2]) are $150,000 per infringement.
Aside from the many valid moral and consumer-based arguments against this, it also opens Charter and NebuAd to a large amount of legal risk.
