Spitzer Sues Intermix Media for Bundling Spyware

CousinLarry writes "Attorney General and corporate watchdog Eliot Spitzer has filed suit against Intermix Software, alleging that the company deviously and deceptively bundles spyware with its 'free' screensaver and game products. 'Spyware and adware are more than an annoyance,' Spitzer said. 'These fraudulent programs foul machines, undermine productivity and in many cases frustrate consumers' efforts to remove them from their computers.'"

He should go after the NY Legislature instead

[toupsie]

Instead of trying to protect consumers from companies, he should be going after the NY Legislature to protect taxpayers. I screwed more often through NY State confiscatory tax policy than I have ever been through a screen saver. Consumers can always protect themselves from this threat, citizens cannot protect themselves from a gerrymandered state legislature with a inept RINO governor.
