From http://spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm#pt2004_note 3. COPYRIGHT. All title and copyrights in and to the software product (including but not limited to any images, photographs, animations, video, audio, music, text, and "applets" incorporated into the software product), the accompanying printed materials, and any copies of the software product are owned by the Author of this Software. The software product is protected by copyright laws and international treaty provisions. Therefore, you must treat the software product like any other copyrighted material except that you may install the software product on a single computer provided you keep the original solely for backup or archival purposes. [...] 12. By using this software you agree not to take or use screenshots of the software and understand doing so will result in legal action being taken against you. You understand Screenshots are copyrighted protected material of the software owner. 13. By using this software you agree that you are not the owner of, affiliated with, or a member of spywarewarrior.com Good grief -- censorship clauses directed not just at benchmark results, but any kind of reviews, screenshots, videos, or other reporting about the software. And, to top it off, a specific injunction against specific parties using the software -- is that even the teeniest bit legal?!
