CNN uses your computer for their business

Submitted by wseehorn on Sat, 02/14/2009 - 12:13pm

If you watched the inauguration on CNN and you clicked "yes" to a CNN.com dialog box you gave them permission to install a peer-to-peer (P2P) application that used your Internet bandwidth rather than CNN's to send live video to other viewers.

Fred Langa's Langalist has an article about it http://windowssecrets.com/2009/02/05/01-Watch-a-live-video-share-your-PC...

Another way for business to make a profit: shift the cost to the consumer. The Terms of Service are draconian, you're forbidden to get any information about what the program is doing on your computer.

Wanna hear all about it?

Then come along and follow the story…because it’s worth it.
