Re: Yahoo sucks!!

The alternative to taking them to court is to do nothing, just like what has been happening for the last 5 years. If you have ever had to remove spyware from your computer, you UNDOUBTEBLY will share my point of view.

Ben was the one who pointed out that major corporations like SBC and others whose names I can't recall now were paying spyware companies for advertising. Spyware is just hacking that got corporate sponsoship. So when you had a spyware program on your computer, every 3 minutes a giant ad for SBC would pop up on your screen and the only way to get rid of it was to reformat the drive.

I hope that Ben makes a fortune and can start a company that serves as a watch dog group. Maybe he could take some of the proceeds and go after some of the larger spammers?

Your wrong that consumers will get nothing. Like always the existing customers will get some sort of a cheap (not even barley worth it) discount. Not only that, they will have to buy something from either Yahoo or SBC just to get it!
