But on the other hand, you are correct. Apparently, it is all about the mighty dollar for companies like Standard Internet. And the recent sale of their primary domains would indicate that the market is telling them that they are not willing to play by the business practices of those companies that make up the advertising fringe element.
I hear ya and I am not trying to pick a fight, but i came from mainstream and i saw more crooked shit than i have seen in the adult side. everything was, we can do this but we need to cover our asses if this ever gets out...

my bet is that comm junc is covering themselves because of the spitzer spyware case in new york. i have a hard time believing that comm junc is going to kick a high rev generating aff for continuing to do this.

a final note. i didn't see anything that says you have to notify or disable exisitimg spyware already on users pc's. did i miss something? if they were really serious about this i would think that they would annnounce that they would terminate the aff for gen aff rev through spyware...

just my thoughts.
