Re: Bite me

I agree....though most users aren't savvy enough to know the difference between spy/ad or what they ever are...,thats why these companies don't want restrictions...IMHO

Bad facts - bad law

Utah is a bad place to address a legitimate problem and I would only ask that folks here look past the headlines.

WhenU.com is NOT a sympathetic plaintiff. But, they got to this point because 1-800 contacts bought and paid for this law in Utah. Go look for yourselves - the Utah law is NOT a consumer friendly law. Consumers have no cause of action in that law.

So, as you ladies and gentlemen discuss spyware/adware - just be aware that this law has little to do with either. It is a piece of legislation that is narrowly tailored to benefit a local Utah company. And, its main target - WhenU.com - is fighting back. If you want to take part in a real discussion on the issue - the FTC is holding a meeting on April 19 about this problem. Look into if you are interested....

Opinions are nice, we all have them. But before you go tossing yours around as facts, please provide something to back it up. Otherwise, your post (and the opinions included therein) is as meaningless as the one made by Joe Schmo.
