adware and spyware Monday January 3

apparently the state of california, progressive as they are, decided to make spyware illegal, punishable by a $1,000 fine for each count.

i have three comments. first, i haven't checked my computer for spyware for months, and then i just ran ad-aware and found nothing. i love you firefox. second, someone on plastic had a good comment. this is a wolf in sheep's clothing: while you have banned spyware, you have also legitimized "adware" by defining the legal boundaries. third, most of the malicious spyware is run by offshore firms, so there's no use in passing laws. instead, we need to bring in the marines. don't mess with texas america.
