Very interesting. Unfortunately it's likely to be too much of a read for many here, so they are likely to miss the estimate in the article which puts spyware-related commerce at about 40% of the value of the whole of our industry. That's a statistic which, if remotely accurate, should make people sit up and pay a bit more attention.

It is also heartening to read that many companies, far bigger than any in online porn, have been shamed or scared away from doing business with scumware/spyware operations. You could imply this suggests that those in this industry who have not severed their ties, are as lacking in business sense as they are ethical standards.
