Spyware is a Form of Terrorism

This unsolicited commercial e-mail came to me from someone at a company formerly-known-as Mindset Interactive. A quick search on Google confirmed my suspicions. I thought it would be nice to publish the message for all to see. I hope these assholes burn in hell.

Hello,
My name is Ron Rallis and I am a Media Buyer here at Vista Interactive. We would like to distribute our free “AT-Games and partners” product through your downloadable software, and are willing to pay you $0.20-.25 every time someone installs our software along side yours. Our free “AT-Games and partners” includes a free search toolbar, 404 redirect, shop-at-home, and a contextual; all of which are free programs that we feel offer value to a user's internet experience. I'm looking to lock up some long term relationships going into 2005 and would like to discuss becoming a major revenue source for your site. We also provide sites with the option of pop-up advertising as well.
Below are a few key benefits to doing software distribution with us.

1. We provide all publishers with login/pass to view hourly stats. You will know up to the hour exactly how much you are making; we don't scrub any numbers.
2. You can link directly to our privacy policy.
3. We pay on Net-7 terms, which is currently the fastest in the industry.
4. We provide immediate out clauses. If you bundle our product for any given amount of time and aren't completely happy by the added revenue you can pull us down.

Let me know if you have any questions; I look forward to discussing this possibility with you further. Also, if you would like to learn more about us you can go to our affiliate site www.addictivetechnologies.com where we have pop-up advertising options.
