l2718 writes "Ha'aretz has a disquieting report on a presentation made by eBay's senior counsel to law-enforcement officials. Apparently eBay logs all user interaction with them, and will happily hand over all the information to any law-enforcement official without a warrant -- a fax is quite sufficient.

Just giving it shit because somehow it ended up with an NHL team which ends up beating the crap out of my Blackhawks every time they're in town. Kind of like losing to the Diamondbacks - that's where the Cubs have a 3A team, for Christ's sake!
