RE: Investigating the Pomegranate Network Mining Gridcoin
Except they consented to using CE When they registered & installed the CE software..

Exactly. Something I find difficult to believe that Dutch is unaware of.
(And something which he still isn't commenting on.)
I'm commenting for @dutch because he's gone to sleep.
We are able to confirm express consent for the less than 1% of users who install Charity Engine through the website, as that is the only installer available for us to analyze.
From Spyware Techie:
This sounds like about as much consent as leaving a sneaky checkbox checked by default in a bundled software installation.
Spyware Techie??? Bloody hell, mate. Spyware Techie exists purely to spread FUD about other apps to make you download their crappy SpyHunter software (Google it). Great source, lads. Really impressive research. Maybe a quote from Infowars next?
So guess what? We do not "leave a sneaky checkbox ticked by default" and I'm now about one more snotty (and ever-changing) accusation from screenshotting this whole thing and sending it to our legal guy.
I would defend with Freedom of Speech (and Write), but legal is as full of holes as gridcoin source.
Also I suggest to save this wbepage (File->Save page as) to save the poor lawyer from copy-typing the text from your screenshot image.
Been saving every comment and every edit too.
FoS doesn't include the right to accuse innocent people of being criminals. That's defamation.
I've also just learned they've sent some absolutely shocking emails to some professional colleagues in the BOINC community.
They are behaving quite abhorrently.
uhmm, you do know this is an actual blockchain right?
if you know what that means...
