Yikes.

It appears that Sears isn't disputing that it did distribute spyware, but is merely saying that consumers knew that they were agreeing to spyware.
...
The scariest part of this incident is what Sears continues to say on its "My SHC Community" page. In a very prominent part of the page—surrounded by lots of white space—is this proud claim: "My SHC Community does NOT sell personal information." That's true. It doesn't sell it. It steals it and uses it for its own purposes.
