People are either jokers, or they're such exploitative fools! Now they're even more of a pain up the arce, with the advent of fast and
affordable internet connections and all, you know! This is mainly because they now have the capabilities to reach the largest number of people in various ways and means that are a whole lot faster, cheaper, and easier.
You see, some of these software programmer jokers have easily converted open source development from being something that is sort of an answered prayer for the world to being a machinery in which to disseminate malware for their own profits! For instance, the
BitTorrent program, which is among the fruits of open source development in the field of P2P technology, has been repackaged and redistributed with something more than just additional P2P features and functions. The new distribution package now consists of about a ton of pop-up advertisements included in its adware surprise, as well as spyware to regularly check on your internet surfing ventures and thus victimize you with various direct marketing strategies. A classic combination now, don't you think? Well, lots of pop-up advertisements to slow down your internet connectivity, plus bombard with you with subliminal information on certain products and services. Then, the spyware bundled with the program acts as a support mechanism in which to fully make you vulnerable to direct marketing systems. Yes, I guess this is how those open source programmers who worked on this BitTorrent monstrosity expected it to work. Soften those users up with a ton of pop-up advertisements, then monitor their surfing habits, send it to those companies who make functional use of the gathered information for their profit-making ventures through direct marketing systems, and finally victimize these poor sheeplike users with direct marketing systems!
