djack - of course they have no justification. But this isn't the 1950's - they have "feelings" and "are offended" they can't make money by selling whatever they *want* to collect about you to people who *want* to buy it - and after all, they did half the work finding that stuff out about you - you only did the unpaid other half by giving it to them....

This is the new age - feelings matter more than what we used to think of as right and wrong. It is what it is. I don't have to like it, and neither do you, but that doesn't make people's lack of old-school morality revert to a good state. And might always meant right - it's just that these days, the might is more transparently NOT resident in governments - who are owned in fee simple by these big transnationals.
