Please people, do not hijack this threat by changing the topic to "a lawsuit against Google".

This is about spammers that have found a new way to pull traffic to their site by using 302 and Meta-Redirects at the mercy of popular and well-established websites.

In the area of programming, the Internet and in any area of Software making, there will always be people that will put all their energy in trying to reverse-engineer or burglar into the system.

And the Flaw is not only with Google .... as of Today the same situation has happened in the Altavista SERPS where also since some hours ago my Index-Page at:
www.widget.com
has been replaced by:
www.foo1.com/mykeyword/www-widget-com.html

I am still OK in Yahoo, Jeeves and Alltheweb

Thanks to all for your concerns and lets try to put the hands together to to point this threat and Redirect-Flaw to all Search Engine engineers and more in the news ... not about LawSuits but to warn other webmasters who maybe do not understand why SERPS are dropping their pages and why they are loosing their good ranking they had before.

Thanks for keeping this threath on topic.
