Even if you ask for DI content?DI said they only ping people who download DI web pages (or DI customer pages or something). If that is the case, and assuming the "probes" are a small fraction of the total amount of data downloaded (say low-single-digit-percentages), would you still be opposed to such probes?
How about if they had a web page or e-mail address or something else where you could tell them "don not scan CIDR x.y.z.0/nn"?
