I'm sorry this is off topic, but there are many of you "experts" here
that could be of help. I think this judge doesn't understand how
spyware works. Or maybe I'm mistaken in thinking this is what is
happening here.
The judge states that the consumer allows this rival company to put a
pop-up ad on the consumer's screen because the consumer downloads the
material. But isn't this somewhat related to Spy Ware, where the
consumer does not give permission....the spy ware is simply downloaded
without the consumer consent or knowledge?
