Going after the kids is just evil.

Asking the kids for their address and phone is just evil.
clipped from www.securityhitman.com

This is a moderately interesting article that discusses a big issue. It is almost impossible today to engage in commerce without revealing some sort of personal information and corporations are setting an early expectation with young children that giving out personal information is okay. Even something as seemingly harmless as building a teddy bear with your toddler presents a privacy and data aggregation risk. Why does the video professor send you those free DVDs? Because your name on a list as being interested in computers and software is worth more to him on the secondary market than the cost of the DVD.

Zango Alleges Kaspersky Lab Spyware Is 'Badware' Itself - MediaPost Publications(Spyware News)

Filed under: Spyware News — admin @ 1:43 am

That law has a “good samaritan” clause that protects interactive computer services from liability for good faith efforts to restrict the availability of material that users consider objectionable. While there have been a handful of other lawsuits against spyware removal companies, Zango’s case against Kaspersky appears to mark the first time a court ruled definitively on the issue. Eric Goldman, director of the High Tech Law Institute at Santa Clara University School of Law, said that if Coughenour’s interpretation of the statute holds sway with appellate courts, adware companies are likely to stop bringing lawsuits against companies that sell removal software. The watchdog organization Center for Democracy & Technology, which two years ago complained about Zango to the Federal Trade Commission, is considering asking to file a friend-of-the-court brief in the case, said Ari Schwartz, deputy director of the group. The organization had alleged to the FTC that Zango affiliates installed the company’s ad-serving software without first obtaining consumers’ valid consent. The FTC in 2006 brought its own complaint against Zango, and the adware company agreed to pay a $3 million fine, refrain from installing adware without first making sure that people consented, and to monitor third-party distributors to make sure they aren’t installing the software without consent.
