Hi to all,
Right media was a company that was raken over by Yahoo for more than $600 million dollars.
Right Media places a tracking cookie on your system and makes money out of the unsuspecting user by marketing the information they gain from you whilst you are using your PC.
When I originally discovered this I was so incensed I emailed the company and demanded they remove their virus from my system (and yes I call it a virus as you are infected by their tracking cookie as soon as you visit any site that uses right media).
After about 20 emails that were not replied to I simply gave up, they were just thumbing their nose at me. (they must be still laughing)
In the end I blocked Right Media through my browser/tools/internet options/privacy/sites/block RightMedia.com.
What make me so mad is that this company treat us like we are idiots, their operation with this cookie is covert, not with the users permission, and they ignore you when you make a complaint.
Also I feel they are no better than the hackers that write trojans to peoples systems to gain information for their own personal benefit.
I cannot understand why there are no legalities with this and why RightMedia are not taken to task like any other pirate/hacker would be????????
I hope you can allow this post on your site, but I understand their could be legalities and if you wish to edit same or remove, at the end of the day I would rather have the GeekPolice and suffer with RightMedia.
Thanks once again to the GeekPolice for past assistance for previous problems, and a message to newbies, you have chosen a good site with good dedicated operaters.
cheers from Pete, Bairnsdale Australia
