Two totally different things and both are bad, but you asked what's worse and as an AFFILIATE I answered your question.

Ok, your turn. Can you answer your own question. What do you think ?
I was looking at it from an industry point of view and not from an affiliate point of view.

A good example is Xpics. They were absolutely phenomenal for affiliates. Alot of people made insane amounts of money thanks to their dirty tactics. While they made affiliates a ton of money their actions changed our industry forever. I would have to say abusing someone's credit card is much worse than the whole spyware debate.
