    Throw that into wget, and you never have to read the agreement.

    If you read the copyright agreement when you downloaded or ran our program you will see that Anti-spyware publishers/software houses are NOT allowed to download, run or examine the software in any way.

    I am not a lawyer, I just read about law on Slashdot.

    As far as I know, copyright law gives you the right to control transfer (copying) of the program. It doesn't give you the right to control how someone who is in possession of your program uses it.

    Furthermore, since you as the copyright holder perfectly freely distribute the program from the URL http://www.spymon.com/downloads/install.exe, your company is the only one doing any distributing. You can hardly be infringing on your own copyrights. I'd like to see you try to get a criminal court to convict someone for downloading a file from your website using a public URL.

    The general gist is correct, but "innocent until proven guilty" is a principle that applies to criminal matters, not civil matters.

    The warnings on the download page talk about criminal court. Whatever they're paying the attorney that wrote it for them is too much.

  5. Even simpler solution by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Informative · on Spyware Maker Sues Detection Firm

    1. Hover mouse over Okay.
    2. Type http://www.spymon.com/downloads/install.exe into URL bar.
    3. Download crap without agreeing to EULA.

  6. It can be downloaded without OKing the agreement by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Insightful · on Spyware Maker Sues Detection Firm

    Just go to

    http://www.spymon.com/downloads/install.exe

    Then you can extract the files from the installer exe without agreeing to anything.

  7. Have you seen Spymon's advertising on their site? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Spyware Maker Sues Detection Firm

    I would add Spymon to a list of spyware after viewing their main page http://www.spymon.com/
