So our buddy PaperGhost blogged about some guy who made a skin for WinAmp, which installs Zango.
In a forum post, the skin maker defends his actions, saying:
haha, if you don’t want Zango don’t install the update. You have the option, it’s not forcing anything on you. We added it that in to potentially make some money doing this, but I didn’t want to make anyone upset over this.
Does this violate some winamp rule? There is nothing in the version downloaded from winamp.com that does anything to your computer, correct?
Please let me know what the ‘official’ winamp stance is on things of this nature.
Thanks! and sorry for any inconvenience
What an ass.
