On April 19, 2004, the Federal Trade Commission
hosted a one-day public workshop to explore the issues associated
with the distribution and effects of software that aids in
gathering information about a person or organization without
their knowledge and which may send such information to another
entity without the consumer's consent, or asserts control
over a computer without the consumer's knowledge. The workshop
was held from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the FTC Conference
Center located at 601 New Jersey Avenue, N.W., Washington,
D.C. It was open to the public and there was no attendance
fee.
