A federal court has ordered a Pennsylvania man to pay back more than $1.8 million he may have garnered by luring unsuspecting Web surfers to pornography-related Web sites and then trapping them in barrages of pop-up advertising.
John Zuccarini, who usually gives an address in Andalusia, Pa., and who is already one of the Internet's most notorious cybersquatters, was ordered to permanently refrain from diverting or obstructing consumers and to give up $1,897,166 in revenue from the advertising affiliate programs that had paid him for the hits generated by his Web-page mousetraps.
