I appreciate your eagerness and positivity but I fear it's not a solution. After all, who defines 'hinder', 'adware' or 'spyware'? (I'm reminded of the phrase "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter".) Any company willing to make adware/spyware probably isn't above ignoring a plea in a license agreement. There are laws against burglary, assault, embezzlement, murder, too, and even with very harsh penalties (e.g. death penalty) they are not always sufficient to deter all criminal behavior.
A $1B limit? no problem - "we'll just send this over to our little 500M subsidiary."
the root problem is the consumer doesn't care and there is a cultural lack of care and trust and humanity. I don't know of any solution to this but the problem runs extremely deep. In fact, there may be no cure, as these problems are noted as the cardinal sins the Christian bible documented and Dante' famously illustrated : Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, Pride. Solve that and the rest comes easy.

- viraptor 6y agoThe developer account is much cheaper than lawyers and process required to set up a 500M subsidiary, so I don't think we even need to think of this edge case.
