Re: FTC Spyware Workshop: 1st Impressions
There isn't any panacea.
But getting together a bunch of S**Ware Advocates to at least define what is not acceptable to even THEM gives a solid baseline for further discussion.
The whole idea is you gotta learn to crawl before you walk & learn to walk before you run.
I'd rather see delayed well thought out regulations than knee-jerk reactions that are either unenforceable or won't survive a contested lawsuit.

| I don't think its possible to regulate this industry, how would you enforce it, so anything that comes out of this is certainly a step in the right direction, be it likely a very small step, but a step never the less and likely a short lived step as adware, spyware, etc have competition as well and if the competition ignores the rules then its likely everything is back to free for all mode, or some companies go out of business and then everything is back to free for all mode so there is really no escaping this continuing adventure.
