And the problem is those annoying companies do have a right to complain legally if for example antivirus removes their software and labels it as spyware if users accept their policy. I hope this doesn't kill all those great anti-spyware initiatives.

Yeah, but both of them make their livings off the stuff you pay for... or donate.
