So basically, as long as Brilliant buried the presence of this P2P stealth network in Kazaa's TOS, it is A-OK to do what they did...implant an application into everyone's system that may or may not cause system resource issues most likely w/o their knowledge or conscious consent. Let's see a show of hands... Anyone else as happy with this news as the CEO of Brilliant is? You don't mind handing over a few cycles of your pc to process another company's "computing tasks" do you?

If I'm understanding you correctly by literacy ads I'm assuming you mean pc literacy ads? As in if people actually understood the intracacies of their computers then perhaps the widespread ignorance of spyware/trojans/virii would be a thing of the past?

WOW
Now imagine if a company did this to use your computer for distributed computing for something like. Cracking the human genome.. and then they pantented most or the whole of the DNA (wich has allways existed its not like they MADE it). And then they invent drugs and therapies that they also pantent and charge ridiculous amounts of money YOU to use them while lying in your deathbed. |
