Anyone that does this sort of #### or installs spyware on peoples machines then they deserve to have their products pirated the hell out of them but who really cares as people (especially the amiga community) love to turn a blind eye),

Look at how many die hards hero worship Elbox, which says it all.

Invasion of privacy. I'm comparing an obvious REAL ivasion of privacy in modern day, with fictional invasion of privacy from years past. The real is no better than the fictional just because it is higher tech.

Ahh! I see what you mean.
In fifty years we will all be in a gigantic "Big brother" show anyway. :-D

Problem is that for many people, their computer has actually become THE hifi stereo component in the house.

I don't really think that Bandlink qualifies as spyware. I mean, you have to explicitly agree to install it on your computer, you know that it'll send info about the CD you play and that it'll be stored in your profile, and before installation you agree to an EULA (yeah yeah, "who reads EULAs").

If you don't want it, don't install it. Even better, turn off the annoying autorun "feature" in Windows (seriously, is there anyone with a clue who HASN'T turned that off as soon as Windows is installed?) and you won't even be nagged to install it when you insert a "contaminated" CD.

When it comes to spyware I think there are much more insidious examples out there than Bandlink.

Oh well, not running Windows still has its advantages. :)
