Look , some of us are lovable rogues , OK? I could market this and get applauded for it ;-)))
And , as a student of history , I look back on the heat I took for allowing members of CONDOM to have console pop ups (shock horror probe) , then for allowing blind links , then for mailing a lil bit......etc etc etc
all the moral majority ( or as I refer to them , "poor people") came out swinging ;-))))
half the people bitching here about hooper's "scumware" will be doing the same thing soon is my guess.
Not saying I think its a great thing or whatever , just stating what history has taught me.

The reality is, if the federal gov't does not step in, or some major companies start sueing ( microsoft) it may become a neccessity to create andd distribute scumware just to stay in busniess.
DirectNIC gets at least a dozen e-mail a day dealing with scumware, people are getting redirected all the time.
It is going to be a major issue. I think it is much more invasive then spam and pop-ups ever were.
