    Some guy is a student with opinions about spyware.

    He gets interviewed.

    Article is a bit wordy.

    Not worth reading.

    Sorry.

    In all fairness, this is not such a bad article. Just because everyone that reads Slashdot has the oppurtunity to be well informed about these issues, doesn't make his interview any less valid for the millions of non-slashdot readers that are not so well informed. Slashdot readers just assume that when they open up a new story, they're going to read something groundbreaking, and that just wasn't the case this time.

    Sure he's just a student. But he's a phD student, which means he's been accepted into a program where his life will consist of academically monitored research in this ares.

    Cut the kid some slack; he's the closest thing there is to an expert in his field.
