Adware company sues

So.. apparently Adware/spyware is really big on the windoze side, lots of companies make it, lots of companies make adware/spyware detection programs.. there are whole forums dedicated to talking about adware/spyware companies and the tactics they use…

Apparently the latest tactic the adware/spyware companies are taking, is to sue anyone that calls them adware/spyware/malware/suckysoftware.. for example, a adware maker called Hotbar is suing the makers of free email stationary/smileys… you can read it here.

So..maybe one of you windoze users can explain it to me… what does suing a stationary provider for calling your software adware/spyware/malware (when it IS adware/spyware/malware) accomplish?

I mean.. wouldn’t it make more sense to actually go after Symantec and all the other big name software companies (that actually have money) that include the Hotbar software on their list of ‘bad software’ (which, except for the Microsoft anti-spyware software, doesn’t identify windoze as bad… go figure) instead of going after a small website?

What’s next.. Hotbar going to sue me? because I state that their crappy software is crappy?

I don’t get it….must be a windoze thing…
