Lee's having problems accessing the forum just now and ask that I post this for him, and a very interesting read it is as well.

"We hope [your readers] will take into consideration the negative effect these rumors could have on our business."

Aaah shame!

Pullen (Commission Junction President and CEO) says that CJ will look to work with Edelman in its investigative measures.

Thats kind of scary! I think Ben Edelman would agree that his methods involve about the simplest tests possible (looking at unencrypted http communications) and by the sounds of it CJ haven't performed this tests even though they "have been actively investigating 180solutions for some time" and "the adware provider was suspended from CJ's U.K. unit for murky practices earlier in the year."

Then again I guess I shouldn't be surprised... if 180 Solutions claim extra commissions and CJ end up with extra override its not their fault is it?!?

Good Article.

Amazing how these networks claim they are only recently aware of the problem, claiming ignorance " oh we didn't know!"

Still it's a postive step forward.

Looks like TD may be the only one left in the UK supporting spyware.
