OT: SPYWARE/TROJAN and Off Topic!

There is no need to get personal or drag pedophilia into a discussion. The question was posed, in however ungainly a manner and it was answered and cleared. I hope anyone who reads through this thread at least gets the facts straight.

No Illwinter is not using Spyware, they are using a tracking system for Multiplayer games to prevent piracy. They have every right and should use every measure they have at their disposal to combat it as it is their product that is being pirated, not yours. (though it may well be if you let your CD-Key slip). If you are playing SP there is no reason to worry about any sort of tracking measures.

Whatever your personal feelings of internet or life paranoia, tracking, piracy, should be, could be, would be, please don't try to drag IW's protection of their property into that perception.
