RE: Proposal to help fight deceptive software

Personally I think a lot of websites have tired of labels because there
are so many around and so few that influence visitors. P3P is something
we've never implemented on OUT-LAW but it's still in my mind to do so -
I've just never made the time for it. While I like your idea, I expect
you'll have a struggle winning support. Clearly your idea and P3P are
not just labels - but that may be how they're perceived by some.

	I think it can work voluntarily, however, thats why I posted to
the P3P list.  How easy is it to get websites to volunatarily publish
P3P policies?
	
	Many vendors spend alot of money to get TRUSTe certified.  This
is essentially an assurance for marketing purposes.  A Clearware label
could be freely used to help improve consumer awareness and show their
commitment to the end-user while differentiating themselves from
competitors. 
	
	I have been discussing with some vendors who are interested in
using the idea, but it's slow to get moving.  Getting vendor
participation is the bigest issue so far.

	I like that idea, Brian. I'm guessing you've already thought of
this, but can it work without labelling being mandatory? Presumably the
purveyors of deceptive software are the least likely people to comply.
I'd be interested to know your thoughts.
