The Curse of the Ramones

I never click on a rollingstone link since about 2 years ago when opening the site on my android handset in the UK resulted in a malware popup that managed to charge something to my phone bill via payforit.

And you blame them for that, not Android or Payforit?

There's no particular reason you can't blame all involved parties:

  * android for allowing payforit to be invoked without user interaction
  * payforit for allowing fraudulent transactions
  * rolling stones for not vetting their advertising partners and taking money from scammers.

It's not like every party in the transaction couldn't do anything to prevent the problem.
