I've noticed whenever I use the Norton SafeSearch toolbar to search the internet, instead of Wikipedia directly, Ask.com (by which said toolbar is powered by) comes up with "Wikipedia on Ask.com." This is literally a direct copy of the Wikipedia page that you are looking for, albeit distraught with advertisements. Even the URL's are worded similarly, ask.com/wiki/. How can they do this? Is Wikipedia in on the revenue generated by this? This is also frustrating as the Ask page takes much longer to download than Wikipedia.
NortonSupport- I was just wondering if this was OK, making a copy of another website and putting ads on it. I have no problem with the search provider. Thanks.
