Yes. Put in another way, it's yet another implication of the "guilty
until (self-)proven innocent" approach:
If you want not to be sued, then you have to buy and install the
spyware (and you'll most likely have to buy and install Windows to do
that).

BUT then if you're installing the spyware, that means you're afraid of
being sued. So, that means you may be doing something illegal :-)

So, either way, you're screwed. Plain and simple.
