A spyware company Spymon has sued antispyware company Counter Spy for listing its software as a spyware, because its eula says that the software cannot be examined by antispyware there by violating EU laws.
In an email sent Oct. 28 to Sunbelt, RetroCoder demanded that its SpyMon product, which secretly records computer users' keystrokes, be removed from the company's detection list, arguing that Sunbelt was in violation of the European Union's copyright law, as explained in Retrocoder's end user licensing agreement.
"If you read the copyright agreement when you downloaded or ran our program, you will see that anti-spyware publishers/software houses are not allowed to download, run or examine the software in any way," SpyMon author Anthony Ball wrote in an email to Sunbelt. "By doing so you are breaking EU copyright law, this is a criminal offense. Please remove our program from your detection list or we will be forced to take action against you."
