Who Invests in Spyware Companies?

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.

Who? The RIAA and MPAA duh.

Spam them!

[mithridate]

We should give them a taste of their own medicine. Everyone should send an ad of your choice to as many of their email addresses as possible!

Hit the investment companies with slashdot spam

[Ham_belony]

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

No worries; it's just Simms trolling as usual

[Safety Cap]

Verified?

[Zebbers]

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.

Stupid editors

"please note that harassing the receptionist at these places is unlikely to cause any change in their investment policies."

Damn those gay slashdot editors..
Please don't harrass them? Maybe they won't change their policies, but keeping their phones and email boxes busy will cost them time AND money and trust me, no corporation wants to lose money!

Slashdot has not verified....

[drew]

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?
