KISS is still independent and unlikely to be able to afford the legal fees to fight it to the bitter end, increasing the trolls chances of getting quick settlement dollars. I hope KISS pays them in pennies.
Actually, probably not. Some companies have already been caught with their hands in the cookie jar, sued, and settled. See eg [1]. I'd bet most companies have looked at that and decided not to do anything similar.
Note: I'm an actual quantcast employee, though I started after the aforementioned behavior. I'm not speaking for quantcast. (Seriously -- don't be a dbag and quote this as qc's position or anything. Because if you want qc's position ask our spokesperson.)
What about individual sites that use evercookie for their own purposes, even if it's not for tracking? There's still the lack of respect for browser settings and "wasted bandwidth" as they claim... but it's not necessarily (perceived) as "malicious".

Wonder why they single out Kiss, you can bet anything they're doing the entire ad industry is doing too.
