You can't hide whats inside  . Would they like it if we called their software 'unkowingly-installed-crap-using-misworded-terms-and-agreements-and-piggybacking-on to-someti mes-worth-while-software'-ware
i also like how their website says 'Free From spyware' instead of 'Free of spyware' |

| \Go !@$% yourself Idownload. How can it be that just because someone critisies your work mean you can sue and take down a website and then gloat about it? Wow I didn't like some of the websites I went to I'm gonna call them crap on my personal website. Are they going to come take my site down because I voiced my opinion. THe internet is no longer of free speech and all that good jazz now it you have money and power you rule the internet god I hate our god damn goverment. |

| Stifling independent review sites?
So independent review sites cannot provide their own opinion of the product anymore? It sure seems like spyware to me, but if I call it that, they're going to threaten to sue me?

This garbage is MALWARE....PERIOD. That little white spec on top of chicken shidt is still chicken shidt.....
Amazing how this company feels they can intimidate any website that offers a review of their product as BAD. I hope the CastleCops stick to their guns with regards to their review and assessment of this garbage.
To the iDownload CEO: You product is not only Malware, it is JUNK. I hope your vendors run as far as they can from you in the coming days....

Right.
Calling yourself by a high-sounding name doesn't make it true.
Denying a name - which others have called you - doesn't make it false. |

Re: You know what they say
Well then lets just call it sh*tware. I don't care what name you give it.
Actually, I do. It is a program that installs without the users permission, does things NO user wants (I dare you to find me one who WANTS spyware/adware/crapware), is very difficult to remove, effects system performance, gathers information.....
Where along the lines did we decide to call it anything but a commercial Virus anyway?

| Scare Tactics
Why do I think that this whole C&D scheme was a scare tactic with no real plans for lawsuits. They send out a bunch of C&D notices, claim success with an unspecified number of unnamed sites, and use that "success" to pressure other sites to cave. Not the brightest of plans, but then again this is coming from someone who used the phrase "shoot a gift horse in the mouth." (Why does that remind me of something the PHB would say on Dilbert?) The CEO again threatened lawsuits, but I somehow get the feeling that this is a toothless threat from a slimy company. (Oh, no. I called them "slimy." I am therefore disparaging the iDownload brand and might be sued by them!!!  )

Re: Spyware IDownload and Spyware ISearch
Well, he wouldn't want to "shoot a gift horse in the mouth," now would he? (I don't know why, but I just love that phrase. It's like the CEO was channeling the PHB when he said it.)
I'm sure that the real reason he wouldn't name any sites is because he lost the tiny sticky note containing the exhaustive list.

I think sites should be able to call it whatever they want, you shouldnt be able to "cease a desist" other peoples opinion on something.
If I wanted to setup an anti-microsoft site saying windows is spyware I Should have the right to do so. |
