just another data mining facility/trojian type thing... after reading their smallprint... Upon registration, all users grant to SENDMAILS CORPORATION their explicit permission ... ... (3) to access and use the Installed Computer(s) for domain name resolution, and (4) data gathering activities, without further notice to or permission from Member. The users have the option to choose not to be contacted or their information shared by terminating their account. SENDMAILS CORPORATION collects online behavior statistical information for our members. Examples of information that we collect, other than through the registration form, include URL of visited pages, registration for offerings and IP addresses. Examples of data gathering activities include web page retrieval, domain tld discovery, and internet port/proxy discovery. Upon termination of the online session, closing of the browser and/or termination of your membership, this information will no longer be collected. Surely there must be a law governing this, however I suppose if someone was to accept their terms then they willingly open their PC up for 'data gathering activities' Kind Regards Dan Clark Network Manager Scarfies.Net Ltd ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Spooner" To: "Ewen McNeill" Cc: Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2004 1:59 PM Subject: Re: [nznog] $1 a CPU hour to send SPAM
