Fair use rationale for Image:Right Media logo.gif
Image:Right Media logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

No Reference
The following had no reference:

adware allegations there are allegations that right media inc. is the proprietor of adware/spyware as it is listed by several antivirus tools such as spybot search & destroy. Spybot Search & destroy reports Right Media as distributing tracking cookies which can track the webpages a user visits and provide targeted advertising based on sites visited —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tsog83 (talk • contribs) 03:45, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

SPYWARE
It is definitely malware. I have spent two weeks trying to get rid of it. It has a root kit or something and no matter what program or method I use to remove it, it ALWAYS comes back. I have my cookies folder set to "read only", guess what "something" on my machine is resetting to what I don't want.24.23.4.244 (talk) 22:26, 18 June 2009 (UTC)Oops, Aaaronsmith (talk) 22:27, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Anonymous editor 71.75.156.71 justified removing a section of the article by stating Right Media is not spyware. The removed section makes no reference to spyware.Aaaronsmith (talk) 17:17, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Anonymous editor has removed section on RighMedia as malware. I think we have a corporate goon here.Aaaronsmith (talk) 03:59, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Anonymous poster: The section you removed DOES NOT refer to Right Media as "spyware". An explaination of your edit would be appreciated.Aaaronsmith (talk) 17:35, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
