Big Mistake

I DO NOT condone or in any way agree with what this guy is doing BUT, you must realize, his software is free. Thus, if he tells you in BIG BOLD BLACK print that you cannot run a certain software on the same machine as his software or he will remove it, it is your conscious decision to install his software and give your permission for him to remove other software.

I really think this approach is a BIG MISTAKE and he will regret it later.

However, legally and ethically, unless your paying for it, you don't have a right to complain about the rules of the software.

Just my opinion, take it or leave it

Thanks for listening.

I dont even know what the hell RadLight is... anyway

Just because someone writes something in a contact or agreement doesnt necessarily make it law binding though- There have been tons of people taken to court of such things and the judges have found the agreements/contracts to be null in void as they are not written properly or have things written in them that are against the law to begin with. So- just because it is written in small print(or large) doesnt mean it is legal

So I install his piece of crap Divx player and it uninstalls Ad-Aware. Ok, so when I have my firewall blocks his third-party crap software access to the internet, is the next version going to uninstall that too?!! Is he going to write in his EULA that I'm not allowed to block it? Where does it end?

AdAware+ is not freeware. At least as far as I know.
