15.11.2005FTC: More spyware-fighting tools needed
Organizations and law enforcement agencies fighting spyware are making progress, but new tools in an antispyware bill stalled in the U.S. Congress
could improve the efforts, a member of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission said Monday.
One of the spyware bills passed by the
House of Representatives earlier this year, the
Spy Act, would
give the FTC authority to impose civil fines on companies that distribute spyware to consumers' computers. The bill, along with the Internet Spyware
Prevention (or
I-SPY) Act, have
stalled in the Senate since passing
the House in May and June.
The FTC has the authority to collect profits from spyware operations and collect money for consumer
redress, but it lacks the authority to impose other fines, as it does when going after spammers, said Commissioner Jon Leibowitz, speaking at a
spyware forum in Washington, D.C.

07.06.2007FTC wants to hit the spyware guys where it hurts
The Federal Trade Commission told a US Senate committee it could bring new vigor to the fight against spyware by making spyware purveyors pay civil
penalties. Under current statutes, the federal watchdog agency can file lawsuits in spyware cases that seek court orders and monetary fines for
ill-gotten gains, but not for punitive damages. FTC Deputy Director Eileen Harrington said the limitation makes it harder to mete out meaningful
punishments on violators.
"It has been the agency's experience in spyware cases, however, that restitution or disgorgement may not be
appropriate or sufficient remedies because consumers often have not purchased a product or service from defendants, the harm to consumers may be
difficult to quantify, or the defendants' profits may be slim or difficult to calculate with certainty," she wrote in prepared comments (pdf)
submitted on Wednesday. "In such cases, a civil penalty may be the most appropriate remedy and serve as a strong deterrent."
