House Passes Prison For Spyware

When spam is outlawed, only Outlaws will spam?

Out of curiousity...I know webmasters (not personally) who have spammed their website to make cash.

But who is using the info on spyware? I have a hard time believing that some guy with a couple thousand free site or a few pay sites is benefitting from spyware.

Who is using the info or buying it? I understand it's a great way to gather demographic's, but who is buying or using the data?

Have I missed something fundemental?
