About as many people read these as read software licenses. A lot of people
who complain about scamware don't notice that the software license often
explains that you agree to have monitoring software installed on your
machine that brings you ads.

I see an opportunity for websites to offer subscription services that would
suppress such info for a modest fee. Even people who are not inclined to
view naughty info resources could probably be convinced to cough up some
dough -- I can imagine services catering to employers who want an easy way
to monitor who is goofing off on the job without coordinating with network
admins...
