sorry if this has been posted already

I think this was a matter of time, spyware and adware have been abused by greedy people and companies for too long.

It's a crime that shit was ever invented.

Of course I doubt they'll be able to enforce the law.

Spunky · 05-18-2005, 09:24 PM

It's a good start..I hope it expands worldwide

chowda · 05-18-2005, 09:28 PM

interesting.. what is ur opinion on adware/spyware that isnt intrusive?

kenny · 05-18-2005, 09:28 PM

I agree fuck spyware.

I think it should be dealt with more harshly then spam.

It should be treated as a crime on the same level as hacking.

I've said it before -- anything that interferes with traffic flows on the internet is STEALING --- I expect to get traffic I paid for, and I expect to pay the person that originally sent it. I also don't expect MY computer to be used to do someone else's tasks without my knowledge, and without compensation.

Spyware and adware are just bad biz!
