The letter is also somewhat contradicting...

There is no installation, explicit or otherwise, of any Cydoor component on the user’s computer.

After installation, the partner application manages the various advertisements and their performance.

I was thinking the same thing. That is TOTALLY an admission of spying. Now of course that isint as bad as keeping track of someones browsing habits but it is still spying no matter how its put.

said by cydoor's threatening letter:
From time to time the partner application connects to Cydoor's servers in order to report aggregated performance records such as which ads were displayed, how many impressions they received, and which, if any, did the user click on.
Wow, I think you just admitted that it is spyware. Quit complaining and take your medicine.
