Some of the 'features' of their software is questionable. I mean, trying to find all kind of tricks to get high in SE's is normal in our world. I don't think Google is happy with the way they're doing it though.
However, most things like changing WM's aff.code on join pages is something I have bigger problems with. Those things are going way too far in my book.
Also, don't forget that their software is capable of doing way more. If things out of the specs I've seen are still in there, it's capable to be updated with new modules/features.
For example, I'm 100% sure that with their current installed base, it's very easy for them to DDos the shit out of everyone they don't like.
As for ST/FCI/Accretive/etc. itself, I'm pretty sure they covered their ass pretty well. With offshore companies in Curacao, Cyprus etc. and without them being noted on any paperwork, I think it will be very difficult to get to them.
What bothers me most though is that this dialer shit is one thing of many.
Bode and Ross (and later his sorry ass brother) fucked so many people in so many different ways it's not funny anymore. Andy was a moron and there was something seriously wrong in his head. However, Shawn, Ross and the people around them were intentionally fucking around with people.
Anyway, without saying too much, there comes a day that I see Bode, Ross or Scott Perkins (or even those idiots Bob Kim or Jim Finnell) so I will be able to 'tell' them what I think.
Number 1 on my list is Shawn but knowing him as one of the biggest cowards in the world, he will probably hide his ass again waiting until the problems are solved.
But hey, I will wait too... my day will come.
