Spyware Maker Sues Detection Firm

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the every-trick-in-the-book dept.

Luigi30 writes "ZDnet reports that RetroCoder, makers of the SpyMon remote monitoring program, are suing Sunbelt Software, makers of ConterSpy, a spyware detector program, for detecting the SpyMon as spyware. According to the EULA, SpyMon can not be used in 'anti-spyware research,' and detecting it is therefore a violation of it. 'In order to add our product to their list, they must have downloaded it and then examined it. These actions are forbidden by the notice,' a RetroCoder spokesperson said."

    No, I don't remember that - because I have never been to those sites. I do not now, nor have I ever participated in software piracy or any software piracy affiliated organization.

    I want to be absolutely clear on this because if anyone were to read this I would want them to know that I am not a software pirate. I also support the war on terror, the president's agenda, and the Republican Party.

    Please don't send me to Gitmo.
