How many authors have they been ripping off? Only they know. One could ask how much they are paid to 'wrap' an honest author's software in 'crap'. They must be making more than their fair share. Why not contact some of the affected authors to inquire their thoughts. (Start with this one in question, mr/mrs/ms MOD)

Why do they need to communicate with Google to install Conduit? Why do they have to force Conduit upon the user when one simply wants to download a freeware program?

Help end this example of 'scumbag economics'.
