spyware vs truth in advertising laws - P2P-Zone

Most spyware is installed by declaring in a license agreement in very vague terms its intentions and hoping the user just accepts it without a second thought.

Most nations have truth in advertising laws forcing vendors to clearly detail what their product does.

If spyware is slipping into our computers on the sly does anybody else wonder if we might just see the local authorities put the squeeze on these advertisers. After all, their software is a product not just a medium.
