Im sure we all agree ibill is doing something illegal , but in all reality we can quote laws left and right , but the proof is in a court case..

So the only REAL proof is done by courts, thus unless someone can point us to some legal papers , then its just "he said she said "

That being said theres obviously gaps in the law. Have you ever gotten a phone call from one of those automated telephone systems that gives you a pre-recorded message ? They piss me the fuck off , but technically they arent illegal.

That doesnt mean you cant give a beef about some company, but keep it to the facts.

In the worse case scenario i suggest if it means that much to a person he/she/they should collect as much info as they can and do whatever they can (i.e. legally on paper ), and a forum is a good way to start.

Lets take the recent case of the domain hijackers/hackers that recently stole thousands of very popular domains such as thehun and sleazy's sites f3.com etc etc

They offered the install files and the "hacker/spammer/hijacker" simply uses any exploit he chooses to install the spyware. The company just says they dont condone it , and all they can do is shutdown users who promote their services in this manner..

So in the end they arent doing anything illegal all they are offering is the software and the affiliate chooses how to promote it..

This is what i call CLICK LAUNDERING. Does it mean they are doing something illegal ? no not yet. Does it mean they are shady as a bush at night ? probably.
Im also no fan of 12clicks, because of his posts (which as we all know doesnt mean shit) I think he speaks before he thinks. But that said. If hes doing something illegal then report him. If hes not, then shut up already. I expect hes being clever and not doing anything illegal, but just doing something you dont like.......For years people have done things I dont like. It doesnt make it illegal
