Forget SPAM laws - Spyware is killing online commerce.
I think Spyware is responsible for a 50% loss of income I suffered inexplicably last summer. Have you thought about how many computers are either totally fried, useless to surf the web, couldn't buy anything if you tried?

Yeah spyware sucks. I'd like to see the same penalties for viruses.. or even worse applied to spyware. I think we should just stop calling it spyware and call it a virus.
