Who Invests in Spyware Companies?

Posted by michael on from the glad-you-asked dept.

NW writes "Ben Edelman just published a list of major investors in spyware companies totaling over $139 million in venture capital." Slashdot has not verified Edelman's information, and please note that harassing the receptionist at these places is unlikely to cause any change in their investment policies.

  1. Hit the investment companies with slashdot spam by Ham_belony · · Score: 0, Troll

    Why not start mass mailing email addresses at these investment companies through anonymour remailers. The really might want to reconsider their investment.

    Mod me down but why the disclaimer from Michael? When has Slashdot ever verified anything?

    I don't expect them too, thats not what I believe their job is, but don't act like you guys ever would or even could.

    well, hello...

    the editors can't even figure out if they've already already posted something (an article on the mac mini two days after the fact? how could you possibly have missed it the first time around?)

    now they're afraid that we might think they actually research and verify the articles before linking to them?
