Did you know that installing LimeWire leaves behind a program called "eTraffic" that spies on EVERYTHING you do on your computer? Uninstalling LimeWire won't get rid of it, and it doesn't come with an uninstaller. It's disgusting that this is even legal. Taken from http://www.zeropaid.com/news/article.../04212002a.php Thx Afisk for your sincerity and integrity of information. |

Spywire As mentioned previously in this thread Limewire did lie in the past about spyware and they don't want to change anything now. Instead they send their PR man Afisk. It's a shame this is legal! http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...&threadid=5022 |

but...it's about choice... i don't like the idea behind topmoxie at all. i'd like to contribute to limewire by using your "affiliate sites", but redirecting users from websites they enter in their browser...thats taking away customers from the services they choose to use. hmmm...what would you say if i would recompile limewire from the sourcecode you offer on your site (it wouldn't even have banner ads then), sell it to users for 50$ and bundle it with a proxy that redirects them from "www.limewire.org" to "www.citrowire.com", to make sure they visit my website rather than yours? as mentioned before in this thread, this scenario would be perfectly legal. but adam, don't tell me you would like it. that's very bad behaviour for a company willing to appear serious; even worse for a group that holds the administrative rights of the GDF. you are de facto a representative of gnutella's normative entity, and you shouldn't go on with buisness like this. if i should use TopMoxie, i would insist on getting a complete list of the websites you take me away from, and those you redirect me to. i don't know if you have this information in your license agreement (for i never used limewire after 2.0.1). if you haven't, i would abort the installation immediately (and run adaware). even if you have, i wouldn't like it; i really want to choose what company to buy my stuff from. IMHO this is much worse than banner ads, for i can choose not to click on a banner, but i can not choose to be redirected or not. furthermore, it's no longer a deal between you and your users only. redirecting affects third party companies whom you are taking away the customers. as i said before, that was a really, really bad move, limefolks. |
