Privacy issues such as tracking your web usage (what you buy [email, name, address, phone number, even other personal information], what you search for [cars, gay black men, hot lesbians, etc], what OS you're running, demographic information.) Then they can cross-reference that with other demographic information and call your house to try to sell you some gay blackman motion lotion. Then you wonder how they got you on their list. They also sell your PRIVATE information for profit at your expense of privacy.

Uhm, if investors invested in BearShare, it would be commercialized.
Commercialization is when something is being advertised to you (as a company wants you to BUY something). In shorter terms someone trying to sell you something you dont need.
