Cake Poker is an relatively new network with a small client base that has come up with a clever defence against those pesky data-mining programs like poker-edge, poker sherlock and poker tracker. Cake Poker actually allows you to change your player ID on their site once a week! I think this is a rather brilliant solution, especially for those who are plying their trade in cash games which is where these programs flourish.
Although Poker Tracker isn't a shared data-ming service like the others, but communities of its users often exchange thousands if not hundreds of thousands of hand histories collected and thus use them to their advantage at a later game. This of course goes on outside the reach and of the poker sites, but they do know about it, and want to do something about it.
Wouldn't you want to know more about your opponent like VPIP, PFR and AF if you have NEVER played a hand against him? The answer is the same for most - but it draws the line and Poker Stars, Party Poker and now even Full Tilt Poker are taking a hard line against that type of software because it could potentially makes their playing environment seem unfair.
