isn't spyware wiretapping?

That is the thing -- the alleged crime isn't spying.

Rather, the alleged crime is installing without permission.

And the terminology being used has, as posts here reveal, and I suppose in the legal sense "prove", that the public is being mislead and confused by the terminology used.

So better terminology is needed.

That said, those who install via drive by installs still need to face penalities.
