Malware marketing: e-greeting as worm

An email greeting-card company has released what Slashdot describes as a "worm with a EULA" (End-User License Agreement — the legal click-through agreement you see when you install new software). When you install the software to view your e-greeting, you agree to allow them to spam every contact in your address book with more copies of itself. Forget viral marketing: this is malware marketing.
