There were no Terms and Conditions in any software which I downloaded and installed from the coupons.com website during the time period in question, of course, Coupons, Inc has since fixed that. The current EULA they are using are a direct result of Professor Edelman's report (and dated after he published that report) and the changes made to it (to cover the items of concern pointed out by Professor Edelman) were dictated (or would have been dictated) by TRUSTe. (You can see TRUSTe's report at http://blog.truste.org/?p=41 I am amazed at the number of "experts" who draw conclusions without having all information available to them.

As for the 'spyware' claim... I dunno... Again, go to the T's & C's of the SLA... I'd be surprised if people aren't acquiescing to some things in order to use the Coupons.com solution.

I sort of guessed that "coupon printer" is not just printing coupons awhile ago. I suppose you just have to come to terms that you "pay" for $ or % off you are getting with your personal info. I don't see big problem really, there are different sorts of personal information and spyware is not tracking, at least in my knowledge, the sensetive part. But then again, I don't see big problem with goverment listening to my phone conversation if it helps to save lives. But that's another can of worms I'd better keep closed.;) Hmm… I sort of guessed that “coupon printer” is not just printing coupons awhile ago.
