Or if they just don't care. Either way, they can't be trusted.

True, but we have too many lawsuits in the world today. Often their outcome is irrelevant (just ask Microsoft). There is a better way to deal with the spyware/trojan issue: Boycott programs that bundle spyware! Go out to all the forums and spread the word!
Developers bundling spyware with their products are a lot like a virus writers "bundling" virii with dropper programs.
