Three men are fined a third of a million dollars (collectively) for inflicting spyware and malware for the company "Media Motor." According to sources, their efforts generated approximately $3.6 million worth of revenue.

Is this a joke? Why are these people still walking the streets? Surely what they did amounts to fraud? Apparently the FTC in the US don’t see it as that big of a deal that millions of people are ripped off of hard earned cash, and subjected to privacy invasions with internet usage statistics obtained without their permission and software obtrusively installed on their systems. Maybe somebody should take the ruling members of the Federal Trade Commission’s PCs and stick this spyware on it, without them knowing - like the rest of us. Perhaps when they write up a report to justify this ridiculous ruling they’ll be inundated with porn pop-ups. Or maybe the malware will initiate it’s attack when their children are trying to surf the internet. Maybe then they’ll understand the misery these people inflict on innocent people. [SHOW ME]
