Editing Spyware (section)

===Personal relationships===
[[Stalkerware]] is spyware that has been used to monitor electronic activities of partners in intimate relationships. At least one software package, Loverspy, was specifically marketed for this purpose. Depending on local laws regarding communal/marital property, observing a partner's online activity without their consent may be illegal; the author of Loverspy and several users of the product were indicted in California in 2005 on charges of wiretapping and various computer crimes.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.justice.gov/criminal/cybercrime/press-releases/2005/perezIndict.htm |title=Creator and Four Users of Loverspy Spyware Program Indicted |publisher=Department of Justice |date=August 26, 2005 |access-date=November 21, 2014 |url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131119022244/https://www.justice.gov/criminal/cybercrime/press-releases/2005/perezIndict.htm |archive-date=November 19, 2013 }}</ref>
