Dave,

This seems to be twisted around - the experiment is being conducted by
the sites participating in Coral. There's little difference between that
and a site that pays Akamai for caching - either way, there appears to
be spurious traffic to unexpected places, and in both cases the site is
the one making the decision (as it could, e.g., to redirect). That's the
right of the site owner, regardless.

Now, I'm not an ethicist or anything, but isn't it usually the case that 
you tell somebody if you're going to experiment on them BEFORE you
notice them doing so?

But wait, there's more. I have also been noticing seemingly random
but frequent attempts to trigger firefox connections to various
planetlabs machines (http://www.planet-lab.org/) as a result of
Google searches. I think it is admirable that Google is supporting
the research world but were it not for my "littleSnitch" application, 
I would have had no idea.
