ZDNET has a great look at the unfolding controversy over Green Dam, a software package China is forcing PC manufacturers to install on every machine or be booted out of the country.Â Turns out the software is essentially a hack-job ripoff of CyberSitter, and now Solid Oak, the company behind the software, is trying to sue companies to keep from installing Green Dam. In the process, they've caught the ire of someone, as their servers are being attacked.
