LA court shuts down Cash4toolbar.com pending action by the FTC

11-12-2005, 03:41 AM

Didn't see this posted yet - apologies if it has:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/11...rm_restrained/

The LA court on Thursday issued a tempoarary restraining order against Enternet and three of its "officers" - Lida Rohbani, Nima Hakimi and Baback Hakimi, owners of various sites including Searchmiracle.com, c4tdownload.com and cash4toolbar.com. Also restrained was affiliate Nicholas C. Albert, whose website IWebtunes allegedly attracted 600 victims who downloaded music for use on their own sites, only to become spyware distributors themselves when Enternet installation boxes appeared on their blogs.

A program you can trust.

If you read the full FTC complaint, you'll see that they went after cash4toolbar's largest affiliate as well for knowing consipring with c4tb. So, yes, if you promote this stuff knowingly, you should worry. Maybe not specifically with cash4toolbar, but perhaps with others.

Everyone knows that there is no such thing as something for nothing.

If you want something there is a cost. However, the tradeoff should be fair.

Spyware/adware isn't a bad thing in all cases, however, when you take advantage of a situation you're in the wrong.

If in order to get a few smileys i have to see some ads I should know what the marketing cost for my free smileys is. If the program offers free smileys and embeds itself in my computer to the point where I can't remove it and my system becomes inoperable well that's too far.

Look at Google. They serve contextual ads to everyone, it's the price you pay for awesome free resources. Good tradeoff.

You deserve to make more money. I'll help you do that.

Google doesn't pop ads with every new window. In fact I have google toolbar on all my computers and I don't even know it's there except when I want to do a search for something. Their popup blocker does a good job as well.

Don't even bother trying to defend spyware. imho the companies that distibute this shit are criminals just the same as someone out stealing cars and need to be put out of business and put in jail if they don't take the hint. Same with mass UCE spammers. They force themselves into places where they're not wanted, 90% of the time brag about it and think they're cool for doing it. Whatever they get, they have coming.

In the meantime, whenu.com just got $35 million in venture funding this summer for building about 99% the same thing... a slight tweak to the model and suddenly they are fucking saints.

The guy tricked 600 blog owners into giving spyware to their readers. You do NOT fuck with bloggers they are all web savvy people and usually very emo.
