Re:Won't this legalize Spyware?

I think the most important part of this is that it also requires the software to be easily uninstallable. Something that isn't true today. This is the main point that I believe needs to be inforced, as its hard to exactly give a definition of spyware. But any software that installs permanently onto your computer (java apps and such don't nessearly apply) needs to have a simple uninstall.
