All spy/crapware is just that...virii, but with a EULA. Due to the (sometimes hidden) advertising blurbette, this junk is suddenly legal, and the developing companies come out swinging with lawyers.

I think a group like COAST would be viable...but common sense should be applied to the application process. (ie. don't elect known crapware vendors TO your group membership) If they kept this group clean that way...then it might have some viability to it.
It just the same like the MCI story...it's about finding a loophole in the legality, then make a couple mil in the process.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12613841 Tue, 08 Feb 2005 11:17:18 EDT Re: as long http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12613274 Thaler : All spy/crapware is just that...virii, but with a EULA.

We need to lump these programs in with virii and be done with it, no grey area.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12613105 Tue, 08 Feb 2005 09:28:16 EDT
