I'm sure they'd love to respond but I'm also quite sure that their council won't let 'em.

nothing like getting some page 1 sig spots on a thread with 6750+ views

That may very well be the case, but even some general fluff statement would be better damage control that NOTHING in my opinion.

There's things you can say to appease people without opening a legal hole for yourself.

i apologize if anyone has already posted this, but the House today took up the topic of spyware:

U.S. moves towards anti-spyware law

By Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus Jun 18 2004 3:42PM

A U.S. House subcommittee on Thursday approved what would be the first federal law to specifically target Internet spyware.

The SPY Act, for "Securely Protect Yourself Against Cyber Trespass," would oblige companies and individuals to conspicuously warn consumers before giving them a program capable of automatically transmitting information gathered from a user's computer. Though the bill carries no criminal penalties, and doesn't allows users to sue spyware merchants, anyone in the U.S. caught uploading such a program without obtaining the consumer's consent could face civil prosecution by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

A last-minute addition to the SPY Act also prohibit keystroke logging and the display of advertisements that cannot be closed, according to Rep. Mary Bono, the bill's sponsor. "We are one step closer to restoring safety, confidence and control to consumers when using their own computers," Bono said in a statement. The bill now goes to the full Commerce committee for a vote. A companion bill in under consideration in the Senate.

Spyware, and its ignoble cousin adware, appears to be a growing online nuisance. A survey of broadband users released last summer by the National CyberSecurity Alliance found that 91% of broadband consumers had some form of adware or spyware on their computers, and most were not aware of it.

In a report released this week, a free scanning tool provided by Earthlink and Webroot Software detected traces of nearly 73,000 Trojan horse installations and nearly 61,000 covert system monitoring programs in a scan of 420,000 PCs throughout the month of April. The same scans picked up 2.3 million adware programs.

Last week, security researchers found that an anonymous computer criminal was using a combination of unpatched vulnerabilities in Microsoft's Internet Explorer to forcibly install the I-Lookup adware search bar on victim's machines.

Regardless of the size of the spyware problem, support for legislative solution like the SPY Act is not universal. In April, FTC commissioner Orson Swindle argued that the commission is more effective when it's working with industry and educating consumers than enforcing "static legislation." And consumer advocates worry that the SPY Act doesn't do enough to warn users about how their data is going to be used.

"We're concerned that people are going to consent early on, and then the software can collect everything," says Ari Schwartz, associate director at the Center for Democracy and Technology. "We'd prefer to set this aside and have a more comprehensive Internet privacy bill."

so that means this is not BS then... whoa!

WarChild · 06-19-2004, 12:43 AM

Here's what strikes me as odd.

Somebody called Whitney a name. I don't even remember who it was. And a bunch of guys jumped to her defense .. Saying how nice and wonderful she is... And she may well be, I've never met her.

We're all sure this company was infact stealing from webmasters. Many of us saw it first hand.

If their PR rep is as stellar of a person as everyone says she is .. What's she doing working for crooks? If I found out I was doing PR for a company that was ripping off the very people I was involved with in my publicity job .. I'd quit on principal. Wouldn't you?

Like you said - you don't know her. She has a ton of friends (myself included) and she is straight up and cool.

Okay fair enough. But is she going to come out and defend this company? Is PR for the company not her job?

And if she's not going to ... And there is in fact wrong doing on the part of this company (I'd say I'm about 99.9999997% sure there has been. I saw it myself) .. Shouldn't she for her own sake jump ship?

I'm just curious, that's all. I'm not making any accusations towards her.

So to you and all her friends in this thread. Just a question.

If she knew what was going on this whole time, would it change your opinion about her professionally?

Don't take my question out of context cause this isn't a slam.
I'm genuinely curious.

KCat · 06-21-2004, 02:08 PM

This thread has gotten ridiculous. I'm sure Whitney & Rocki are lovely, but enough cheerleading!

Sponsor adware, stealing referrals from other companies...these are serious accusations that affect everybody's bottom line, regardless of whether you're using the sponsor in question or not.

If a surfer gets this adware shit from one gallery, clicks to the next gallery (YOUR gallery) with a totally different sponsor & signs up but the join page is stripped, YOU lose money. That's a much bigger issue than calling the girls names.

Focus, people!

You have no idea what is going on behind the scenes. I am sure you will hear from the people that you need to hear from in due time, but to keep harping on an employee is ridiculous.
