I'd like to know more about the other problems with prodigy...
 
As to what the real difference between Prodidgy updates and commercial
software is:
 
If I buy a commercial program and install it on my HD, that is a one time
act, where I get a file from the company.

With PRODIGY, let's say that I call and send some E-mail to a guy saying
that I'm working on a revolutionary new communications network that will
make systems like Prodigy and Compuserve OBSOLETE. Now let us say that
they intercept this message, in which I say I'm writing this program
using PASCAL.

Prodigy writes a program, which is run in the background on *MY* system
the next time I call. This program makes a list of a files with a .PAS
extension that are on my drive, and copies them (in the background) to
their disk WHILE I AM ONLINE.
 
They could also sabotage my program, or otherwise conduct industrial
espionage.
