==================================================

Part 2: Is It Legal?

Last time we learned about whether or not adware/spyware

can destroy. This time we will learn if adware/spyware

is legal or not

A common question that is asked is whether spyware and

adware is actually legal. The fact is that in most cases

the answer is, no, its not. But, that doesn’t always

stop all crime.

What is illegal is being able to get into anyone’s computer

without their authorization for any reason. In the United

States, the law that covers this is the Computer Fraud

and Abuse Act.

Since part of the definition of spyware and adware is

that the process itself requires that a user download

the program without the knowledge and/or consent of the

user then it is quite illegal in itself. It is a tricky

law, though, that is very open to consideration.

It is so difficult to prosecute those that make and

distribute spyware and adware that it is, in fact,

something rarely done. In some cases, many of these

companies operate as standard businesses. It’s not

a hidden trade in any way, in many situations.

Why is it so difficult? One of the reasons this is

the case is the fact that they have to prove that you

didn’t want to download the software in the first place.

Let’s say that you were using shareware and the process

included spyware. Some spyware providers claim that you

signed up for the spyware as part of the bundle of

applications.

Another consideration is just how you give your consent.

Be honest, how many times have you read through those long,

“Read me” agreements before purchasing or downloading some

type of software?

If you don’t read the End User License Agreement, as they

are called, and click “yes, you agree” and continue,

guess who’s legally responsible for whatever happens?

To make this even worse, many of the spyware and adware

companies will make these agreements excessively long

and difficult to read and understand. You get frustrated

and just hit that button.

Of course, in most cases of spyware and adware, there is

no agreement to sign anyway. The fact is that many of

these are drive by downloads that you’ll never know the

program is there. In this case, there is no contract

at all and therefore nothing to hold you to them.

The good news is that throughout the United States

and in countries such as Australia, there is much law

making happening to provide some protection from

spyware and adware to the public.

In Iowa and Washington, within the United States,

there have been laws passed that offer some protection.

In these laws, specific types of spyware are targeted

and made to be criminalizing acts.

Positive Quotes

Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp,

Or what's a heaven for?

-- Robert Browning

and

Some day, in years to come, you will be wrestling

with the great temptation, or trembling under the

great sorrow of your life. But the real struggle

is here, now, in these quiet weeks. Now it is

being decided whether, in the day of your supreme

sorrow or temptation, you shall miserably fail or

gloriously conquer. Character cannot be made

except by a steady, long continued process.

-- Phillips Brooks (1835-1893) American Bishop
