The public hostility did not happen within the last 48 hours - this is the result of obviously significant unresolved customer complaints.
While it is reassuring to know that eventually smart biz operators will back away from questionable propositions, reacting to blowback is not the same as being diligent and proactive.
I would like know which sponsors are on record for refusing to participate in this from the getgo - those are my kind of sponsors!

bottom line. from the looks of the articles and all those complaints theres more to it than i saw. that being said. how many never found the places to complain and make their problems public? what i've seen is enough to put it in the "questionable" category at best. the fact that its being disputed as "easily removed" is not accurate to me based on how many consumer complaints are out there.
franck, above all those people that have brought this up knows how bad i hate stuff like this. we both had the same install and it cost me a machine. i wanted to go through the internet connection and tear the face off the asshole that installed it.
unknowingly supporting something is much different than knowingly supporting something.
basically, i asked the questions that i needed to ask when we got into the deal. i specifically asked what it did and downloaded and uninstalled. everything was fine, no flags. i guess i shoulda left it on the machine for the entire 3 days. so be it, shoot me dead, i'm not a programmer.
i've read everything i could find on this and at this point we're done with it. legal or not, its not our style.
now...for the entire community.
i've seen enough to where i don't want anything to do with it anymore. i am here to protect nobody, fuck all that. people can come in with their political ways to say stuff if they want. i asked the questions and did the tests i needed to when i first set this up and everything checked out.
i have contacted no one at WD. i have several people that i trust technically tearing it apart to find out exactly what it does instead of what i was told.
i'm not doing this for anyone here. i'm doing this for the surfers.
this place makes me sick sometimes. people need to look for front page stories elsewhere, instead of ASSuming that people are doing something under the radar. not knowing something is called ignorance, not conspiracy. naivety is not intent.
i'm done with this. all of it. go look for yourselves. there will never be another download on our network, ever. set your clocks to it.
peace.
