Thought: Hey, thanks for the insight. I can't see Lycos introducing the screensaver without talking with legal teams first, so surely we can presume everything is legal and above board?! Otherwise, why would Lycos want to put themselves in a legal tangle? Unless they weighed up the legal costs against the profit they would make from the PR stunt, from which all I can see, is all this whole thing appears to be.
It's entirely possible that their lawyers cleared it but that doesn't necessarily make it really above board; if lawyers always agreed on what was allowed, we wouldn't have so many corporate lawsuits. :) They may be standing on the principle of "these are just a bunch of website visits" without taking into account the fact that there's a stated intent beyond just visiting the sites. This is probably going to get a lot messier for Lycos before it's all over. -- Kyle Maxwell [krmaxwell () gmail com] _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
