  1. Free publicity - those clever bastards. by MagnaMark · · Score: 1 · on Spyware Fights Back


    At first when I read this story, I (predictably) got all worked up and went to their site to mouth off on their forums. Then it struck me. If Radlight had never put an AdAware killing "feature" in their crappy app, nobody would have ever heard of it.


    Now, everybody on /. has heard of it and I'd guess that a lot of them have visited radlight.net, like I did. Within the space of a couple of hours, tens of thousands of computer users heard of the RadLight who never would have otherwise.


    Instant, free, (albeit bad) publicity. And, as the PR folks say, no PR is bad PR. In any case, lots of bad PR must be better than absolutely no name-recognition.


    On the other hand, having read some of these guys comments on their forums, I think that maybe they're not clever enough to have thought of this...

  2. Striaght to the funnies... by Suburban+nmate · · Score: 1 · on Spyware Fights Back

    Big Steaming Pile Of Bull Shit

    A prime cut: "The non-adaware-killing RadLight was compiled 5 seconds after the adaware-killing version.

    Uhhh... One simple program or one shit-hot computer he's got there. If only I had [less than] 5 second compiles at college, I'd never have had time to fill the server with all that pr0n. He's been fiddling with the system clock or spent a few minutes in UltraEdit. Expecting me to believe otherwise is an insult.

  3. Come and show him the love. :-) by Annamite · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Spyware Fights Back

    You can come to the discussion/forum here on this thread and show him your support for Ad-aware and why it is important NOT to piss off the users of Ad-aware.

    I believe that the guy(s) can come to his/their senses and have some corrective actions regarding his sw soon.

    Come and show him your love,

  4. How Many People Use Radlight Media Player? by ltsmash · · Score: 2, Informative · on Spyware Fights Back

    And how many people use Radlight media player?

    answer: Fifty: As a matter of fact, here are all 50 registered users (fifty people, wow!).

    Even better question: How many people have even *heard* of Radlight before?

    PS:Somehow I don't think their servers are being crippled right now with thousands of slashdot readers trying to download a copy of radlight.

  5. They even thank their users! by jvmatthe · · Score: 2 · on Spyware Fights Back
    They have a page to thank some of their users. See it here. (For the goatse.cx wary, that's how the page really sets the address in the location bar. Just an IP address. Nice, eh?)

    What really surprised me was the part at the end of the thanks note:
    [snip list of registered users]
    Sincerely Yours
    RadLight Team

    PS. HA-HA! SUCKERZZZZZZZZ!

    Ok, maybe not, but I half expected that, when I saw the "thanks" page. ;^)

    Well ... as someone else pointed out ... Yep ...

  7. Terrible company by awptic · · Score: 5, Informative · on Spyware Fights Back

    Did anybody else notice the page that shows the first and last names of everyone who's registered? This company doesn't even respect the privacy of PAYING customers... now that's _LOW_
