Klagen gegen Realnetworks wegen Bespitzelung-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- der Privatsphäre von Mitarbeitern oder Kunden gemeinhin brutal. Das hochgradig unverschämte Vorgehen von Realnetworks hat dies wieder einmal demonstriert. Der nächste Schritt erfolgt kausaliter: die in Europa als raffgierig und brutal bekannten US-Anwaltskanzleien probieren ein möglichst großes Stück aus der Firma, die Millionen User ausspioniert hat, herauszureissen. Man nennt dies: Checks and Balances -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- .. The case was filed in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on behalf of RealNetworks' RealJukebox users, on the heels of revelations last month that the company had assigned globally unique identification numbers to its popular music listening software that could have been used to track its users without their knowledge. "This action is being filed on behalf of the millions of users of the RealJukebox software to obtain compensation and other relief for the violations of federal and state law," said Jonathan Shub, an attorney with Sheller Ludwig & Badey, which filed the case. "RealNetworks must be held accountable for its conduct." To quell privacy advocates' complaints and outcries by consumers, RealNetworks immediately disclosed the use of ID numbers and then offered a patch that would replace the IDs with zeroes in its audio listening products, RealJukebox and RealPlayer 7. The company also said that it doesn't associate the ID with any user's personal information or unique listening habits. ... As previously reported, Jeffrey Wilens, a RealJukebox user, filed a $500 million class-action lawsuit against the company in California Superior Court on grounds that RealNetworks' actions violated the state's unfair business practices law.
