Right now it says "Got DivX?", but in future we might put news about new products there, links to tutorials on DivX, or even special discounts on our other packages, movie deals, and links to new trailers. We simply count how many times we display the picture we show after playback stops. "Marketing" in the EULA does not translate into "adware". There is no adware or spyware in the plug-in.
Release something truly free, and quit trying to find more ways to make money.ĭivX has not shipped any product with adware since July 2004.
#DIVX WEB PLAYER DMG SOFTWARE#
"NO TRANSCODING: You are prohibited from using this software with a software or hardware product whose purpose is to "transcode" or convert DivX video or DivX Media Format content into an alternate format."ĭivX WAS the front runner in compression for a while, now you are also trying to stifle the competition? How very Microsoft of you. It is obvisouly collecting and sending information, therefore is SPYWARE.
#DIVX WEB PLAYER DMG INSTALL#
"Measure marketing offers" I will not install this to help you "market" anything and line your pockets. Try using a dialog that the person installing must read and press a btton to show assent. You are sending information from my system, and hiding it in the much unread license aggreement. Notifications will also be sent to our servers to measure marketing offers and general use of the software to assist Licensor in its product development and will not be personally identifiable." This notification will be used to count installations of our software and is not be personally identifiable. "SOFTWARE INSTALLATION: When the software is installed a notification will be sent to our servers. I did install it after disconnecting my connection, monitoring where it was trying o send to, then blocking it. You are hurting us when all we did was being honest and upfront with you in the license agreement. Please stop giving this a bad review because you obviously don't fully understand the words you are using. NO it's not spyware because we do NOT collect personal information. YES this is freeware, because it's free for an unlimited period of time. I am the only developper of this project and we need this metric to know if the project is viable and so that we can continue to offer it for free. We are a small company and we are defintely not lining our pockets.
And you're afraid I'm going to record your IP and go to your door to sell you a set of encyclopaedias because of that? Aren't you over-reacting just a little bit? That's the number of installations of the plug-in there have been yesterday. Second, do you want to know the extent of what we "market" ? Well here it is: 1553. This is standard procedure and you are expected to be responsible for what you do when you install software on your PC. In order to install the software you had to explicitly check a box that says you have read the license agreement and agreed to it. You are contradicting yourself here and missing the point.įirst, the license agreement is _exactly_ the place to put this information.
