We've seen weirder things used in phish and other scams... Remember, open redirectors allow remote "brand reputation transfer" (aka theft) for whatever purpose may suit a third a party. Web app devs and admins who do not inherently understand that (some 80+% by my estimates) should not be allowed near any servers on the public Internet. (That would put Doubleclick, and thereby much of Google, well out of business.) I can imagine ways the "fake codec" folk could _very_ conveniently use this to boost their install rates. (If I have to spell this out to anyone here, they're on the wrong list...) ... Now Valdis -- what odds will you give for nVidia fixing this before we see it being roundly abused?
