Anonymous writes "In retalliation of the recent introduction of spyware, keyloggers and an EULA that is illegal in many areas, a group of crackers is rumored to have stripped all of these bigbrother features out of the software package known as IncrediMail.

Several groups worked on various aspects of this project. This suggests that groups are coordinating efforts. They are pooling resources.
They are organized.

This endevour is being hailed on some sites as the thinking peoples responce to business and goverment intrusion into everyones personal freedom and privacy.

The rebundled IncrediMail has been seen circulating on several warez sites since around 8am today.

I have personally scanned the modified program and it checks clean of any known parasites, virii, trojans and loggers.

Further, it includes a nice and easy to read tutorial of how to install the software and upgrades that register the program as well as remove all the threats.

I have mixed feelings on this subject.
I chalk it up to the old addage of fighting fire with fire.
Sure, the crackers will be viewed by many as evil hackers who jeapordize the sales of a product and must be brought to justice;
But ask yourself, will the company that created this software or the goverment that knowingly allowed them to sell it with all the spy software in it, be brought to justice?

I am a patriot as much as the next person, but I will also do anything to protect my personal beliefs and freedoms, even if it includes hailing those criminals who would bring the good guys to their knees.

In the end, it really wont be a matter of who's right or who's wrong. The battlefield it too grey, and both sides are as justified and to blame.
In the end, the only thing that will but an end to this sort of information war, will be the decision to keep no more secrets.

Of course, I expect a plethera of opinions in this matter. As I can see a multitude of possabilites in responces ;)
