Circuit City Shares Your Address With Netpliance

An Anonymous Coward writes "People who have recently bought the i-Openers from Circuit City all over US have been receiving a letter from Netpliance (who makes the i-Openers). Circuit City has put it upon themselves to give out the personal information (names, phone numbers and addresses) to Netpliance without the consent of the customers. The letter and more information are available at i-opener-linux.net." I can't say I'm terribly surprised, but it's interesting that a retailer is helping a supplier track down customers. There's also the seemingly-perpetual i-opener issue of tweaking the Terms of Sale, after the sale.
