Spyware companies work on the edge of the law but thay still have to work within
the law or face getting closed down, thair assets ceased and fined rediculouse ammounts
of money (and possably some porridge time as well). hense even though thay dont want

it hard to find and use. also didnt i say not to use your usual email as it is likely
to get spammed, i think i did :)
