I am talking about today. right now. Nov, 2006. thats whats relevant. The US government is not calling it spyware, the FTC is not calling it spyware. their attorneys are not calling it spyware and the company is not calling it spyware. Their official position is obviously that its not spyware.
from their legal position, webmasters opinions and grievances are irrelevant. it's the law that matters. if someone started crusading, saying TeamClickCash.com is nothing but a bunch of lying, stealing cunts... it should be expected that you would lash out eventually and their rationalizations for calling you that, for making defamatory and liabelous remarks and orchestrating an effort to directly hurt your business are are not going to be points you would be willing to sit and ponder in semantical arguments and philosophical discussions. you will move agressively to protect your business and your income. further, if you were a public company as they are, it would be mandatory that you take action.
that was my point. i just thought it was an interesting point and people should also consider the fact is that Zango has the most qualified and connected attorneys in the US representing them to sueanyone here... and those saying "hey man, just use this script" could suddenly find themselves in a position where they are forced to respond and defend themselves in a costly legal fight that achieved absolutely nothing.
