I do not think that Someone has rigth to execute something on my computer (even though I launched it) and send information to some host, without even asking me if it is OK with me to send my personal information to someone else.
I think that's piracy too. Beating piracy with piracy is OK. Just lose the saint halo.
You guys gotta admit that you're PIRATES, whorse than the guys using P2P.
Linux Fun.
