Blinkx adware allegations
A January 2014 analysis by Harvard Business School associate professor Ben Edelman alleged that Blinkx continued adware-related practices connected with companies it had acquired, including Zango and Prime Visibility Media Group, and that advertisers may have been defrauded. Blinkx rejected the allegations, disputed the description of its Zango transaction, and argued that its software was not installed without user consent. Follow-up criticism addressed allegedly deceptive installers and advertising practices. The controversy concerned Blinkx, the acquiring company, rather than a separately documented All Media Network practice.
