	Stealware - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stealware refers to a type of software that effectively transfers money owed to a website owner to a third party.
		Specifically, stealware uses an HTTP cookie to redirect the commission ordinarily earned by the site for referring users to another site.
		This article related to a type of software is a stub.

	Stealware - software that steals your affiliate commissions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Stealware is software that modifies affiliate tracking codes, replaces affiliate cookies on a users computer or "overlays" links on a web site with another affiliates tracking link - resulting in payments going to another person or company.
		Stealware is installed as part of the setup process for the main application and usually without the users full knowledge.
		If stealware is installed on a users computer, when an affiliate link on your site is clicked on by an "infected" user, instead of a cookie being set with your affiliate id and details, it is changed to the company controlling the stealware - if they are participating in that affiliate program.

	Pick-Pocket Pop-Ups
		Call them stealware, thiefware, or even "pick-pocket pop-ups" (a term recently coined by Kenn Cukier), but their core method is surprisingly simple: Stealware companies join the affiliate networks that merchants operate -- networks intended to pay commissions to independent web sites that recommend the merchants to their visitors.
		Then when users browse to targeted merchants' sites, the stealware programs jump into action, causing merchants' tracking systems to think users reached the merchants thanks to the stealware programs' efforts.
		Finally, stealware puts affiliate networks (like LinkShare and Commission Junction) in a truly odd position: If the networks enforce their rules and remove stealware programs from their networks, then the networks shrink and receive smaller payments from merchants.

	What is stealware? - Spyware Watch (UK) - spyware, adware, stealware - stay aware!
		Stealware is a new name given to products that modify affiliate tracking codes in order to change the person to which the payment is due.
		It might seem minor and like not many people will be affected, but affiate companies can be paying out thousands $$$$ per month to individuals who maintain well run sites that generate sales for their customers.
		Stealware completely invalidates affiliate marketing as a valid revenue model for these sites.

	The Effect of 180solutions on Affiliate Commissions and Merchants
		Programs from 180solutions monitor users' activities and show targeted advertisements, but 180 programs also overwrite affiliate commissions to cause 180 to receive payments from merchants when users make online purchases.
		In September 2002, the New York Times published "New Software Quietly Diverts Sales Commissions," using the term "stealware" to describe software that "divert[s] sales commissions" by causing "all future purchases [to] look as if they were made through the software maker's site, even if they were not."
		Notwithstanding this prior research as to stealware generally and even as to 180solutions specifically, I intend my research to make the following contributions: 1) To be more comprehensive in the scope of testing, checking 180 targeting of more than 166,000 trigger conditions.

	Slashdot \| Stealware: Kazaa et al Stealing Link Commissions
		The story quotes a LimeWire Developer who admits 'While I agree that this is really a bit of a scam, it is a way for us to pay salaries while not adversely affecting our users.' The insidious part is the stealware program remains even if you delete the original P2P software.
		The consumer doesn't have to know the amount, but knowing which affiliate is getting the credit would make this a self-policing situation.
		If the stealware people are so bold as to falsify Amazon's message back to the constomer, then it's time for the laywers.
