Adware maker WhenU.com challenges the Spyware Control Act on the grounds that it is unconstitutional.
A Utah judge has granted an injunction to adware maker WhenU.com to temporarily halt the state’s new anti-spyware law from going into effect.
New York-based WhenU, whose software is the subject of several lawsuits, filed a lawsuit in April to challenge the nation’s first anti-spyware statute, called the Spyware Control Act, on the grounds that it is unconstitutional. The suit, filed in the 3rd Judicial District Court in Salt Lake County, Utah, was filed shortly before the law was set to go into effect in May.
