Re: DC...Is it theft?

It's opt-in so the user would have to activate the feature. Not all that much different than the user installing the client separately.

Here's an interesting twist...Is Google trying to condone computer theft? Wasn't there a guy that is having federal charges brought against him for installing DC programs on computers at his work (school campus)?
If he is charged with this (if it is a crime) then everyone who installs this feature on their browsers at work will be a breaking the law.

Google will have millions of criminals working for them.

IMHO, DC is good but there are those that haven't a clue as to what is happening in the real world but have the power to make laws for us.
