A leopard does not change spots. Once a spyware company, always a spyware company. Why would anyone trust them after the rootkits? |

It's scary knowing that a company which has absolutely no income, can raise the scores of millions of dollars which it has. It's scary because there are millions out there ready to invest big bucks to track our movements. The advertising industry is the long-term threat to security and privacy here.

That's what was said about ChoicePoint and Doubleclick, both of which today are doing very well. The public forgot all about the privacy debacles both were part & parcel of as recently as 2005. |

Re: Scary
You've made a perfect argument against corporations donating to politicians. These entities can ramp up enormous resources quickly that voters cannot. |

Virgin Media is a Delaware company too. indeed it is, and the majority shares are also owned by US corporations, what was your point again 
that the majority of VMs actual profits go to US corporations, both in shares, and mass contracts to US cable kit hardware and middleware providers |
