Surely the legal value of something that installs itself without notifying and has no other purpose than spying on a private user can be questionned? I know this sounds like the definition of "standard" spyware, but there's a difference in that spware has commercial purposes and this software only personal ones.

I wouldn't do it for profit. Assuming I could code, I might do it to see if I could, but I wouldn't sell it. I hate invasion of privacy.

It's a remote key logger, more or less. I'm not against it, cos i still think a sensible person does not click attachments just like that if they're not from a friend. And if they're from a friend and keyloggers that friend asks for a serious bashing.

What pisses me off is if I pay a company something (dunno, a utility company, or internet, or something) and they collect my money for whatever service they're selling... and then they sell my info on top of that. Fuck them. I'll pay an extra $1/year to keep them from selling my info. In fact, I think they should pay ME if they're selling my info. The fact they don't disclose that they sell your shit is even worse.
Now, I can't mention any names, but I did tech support for a type of tax software (one of the two big ones, use your imagination). We got all kinds of personal info from these customers, especially if they were going to e-file. In fact, I had the capability to look up someone's name, phone number, address, credit card number, expiration date, and spouse (if there was one)... as well as how much money they owe/get back on their state and federal taxes. That's enough to steal an identity...but anyway... sometimes they'd ask us if we sold their personal info.
We were told, flat out, to say "No, we do not sell your information."
The reality was, we did. Only reason I found out that we did was because I was in management and knew people.
If that's not fucking wrong, I don't know what is.
