dance:

i saw that. Its never going to stop. Too much out there already

Exactly, but hey its a step in the right direction i guess.

How the hell could you die of spyware?

Get out of my thread you dirty noob

I dont see how you could die of spyware unless they could dig up you address


What the hell im not a noob.

Death of, not death from you twat.

Sept 2004......fucking n00b

for the love of god rolleyes:

STFU

I hope that shit is enforced, law doesnt mean anything if its not enforced. About time. Ive been praying to god that spyware creaters would get fucked in the ass and looks like my wish came true

I know right, if theres a program we can download from the gov't so people like us can report spyware websites and programs and than they get fucked that would be awesome.

LOLz rock:

Add a plugin to Ad-aware and similar programs that shoots off e-mails containing a list of programs and offenders to the FBI cyber crime division or something.

Where could i get that at?

You'd have to make it... it was a suggestion for a means of reporting violators.

Oh...yeah i agree something like that would be awesome.

No matter what is done though spyware will always exsist. Lawers will simply make more money writing and re-writing privacy policies, and software terms of use. Microslut will still install spyware with every update and you will accept it because they snuck one sentance about the update containing spyware, somewhere in the 15 page software agreement.

Will you report porn sites that give you spyware? Or will you accept it because after all, it is a porn site. You wouldnt want the government or some lawer to know you were looking at THAT. In the end it may give you privacy from some company gathering information, but it then hands that same information to the government or who ever gives a shit, when you report that someone did infact place "spyware" on your PC. It may frighten a few small companies out of the game but others will find the more than obvious loop holes in what is undougbtably a pourly writen and frankly ill conceived law.

This is what happens when government officals (senators and alike) get feathers up there ass about something, but lack a true understanding of what the fuck is going on. They may have passed a "law" but its effect will be less than minimal on the general public.

eek:

Good. But there would be ways to get around it anyways.

spyware doctor is wat i have, it helps, but it keeps coming back annoy:

good to see.

good to see.
