BleepingComputer sued by SpyHunter

Post by Fred »

I'm definitely curious to know how this will end. Can you imagine? They are asking people to pay for their mistakes, and people do it gladly. What if SpyHunter does not win the case? Where will the money go to?

One thing we humans have in common is that we are all different. So, if you think you're weird because you're different from everyone else, then we are all weird.

Very interesting. I’m guessing, just like our government, when they fine someone it goes to somebody’s pocket. I could use a gofundme page. ;)

I guess we could arrange that. You post saying UVK is crap, then we tell everyone I sued you, and you post asking for donations. More or less what they did... :)

So, question....

IF SpyHunter was really worried about reputation and BleepingCOmputer wrote a fair and honest review. Would it not make more sense to use their fan base to spread the word about SpyHunter trying to stifle free speech?

I would be more more inclined to NOT support a crooked company than I would be to contribute to a senseless defense fund. Why you think I don't buy Apple products at all and most likely never will.

Can't comment on the apple thing but it seems like another company looking for a bailout. I don't think we should be paying for the mistakes that a company makes.
