Have any of you seen remote thumbs yet?

Was talking about this kind of stuff with several people at the show. I've seen some clever spins using scripts, and they're getting more and more bold about allowing themselves gratuitous access to your server, your bandwidth and your traffic. If someone is giving a script away for free, raise an eyebrow. They're getting their's somehow...

Best one I received recently was for a script that prevented spam from the server level. However, the company "giving it away" is a company who I know for a fact sold our addresses when using one of their other scripts. And I'm to give them access to my whole contact list? Yeah, right...

I'm not picking on Joe here by the way, I haven't even looked at his script, I'm just talking about scripts in general.
