Re: yea well,

If "free" software contains privacy breaking spyware, then it's not really free, now is it?

It's usually only the "free" software that has this garbage anyways. You might as well just get off your wallet and spend the money for the real version, minus the software before someone gets your information off the spyware and spends your money for you anyways.

This is a noble effort. Heck, this is the first effort. At least SOMEONE is finally recognizing that this stuff is a PITA and is trying to do something about it. All you guys have done so far is complain about the spyware, then complain about the attempts to fix it. If you want to stop it, add to the help. Contact people, tell them why it won't work and what they can do to make it better.

Sitting here whinning about it, and linking any form of propoganda you can find to our government and Bush is not being part of the solution, it's being part of the problem. Big brother is not out to get you with every piece of legislation. If Big brother wanted you, you'd be his already.

Re: yea well,

If your complaining about such a lil thing as free software giving those spyware crap, its obviously theres something wrong with either your pocket that doesnt have any money or you nothing of downloading the software for free and not receive that spyware. hmmmm I am wondering ppl do know about things such as kazaa or bearshare...I hope if so download those software and then find the software you are looking for and get for free if you are insecure of doing that then get ur ass a better job and buy the product. have a great day bye!

Stealing and getting a free product from a vendor wanting to promote their software are 2 different things.
