What Pizzaman (me) is pointing out to you is that spyware paid companies do not care how they make money, they have no ethic guidelines and so do the programmers. But programmers do actually write the software, without them there would be no crap-ware and they should take the responsibility which companies don't want to take.

The point is clear, without programmers making spyware or using spyware in own products, there would be no spyware in the world. Computer technology is a step into our future and culture, a wrong use will harm us all. Isn't it time for a coder's oath? Ask yourself, would you need to get a honest job, are you proud on all your work?

You ARE responsible, not only your boss.
