Huzzah for Eliot Spitzer!

The Attorney General of the State of New York filed a lawsuit against a notorious distributor of crapware (press release, full complaint).

The best part of the complaint is the demand to fully disclose all records of its activities, including an accounting of all revenues. That would lead to a revealing “follow the money” list that would no doubt snag other offenders.

This Electronic Frontier Foundation editorial explains why the strategy is the right one.
