anyone who is motivated can find info on ANYTHING they want to on the internet. Weather it be how to make crank, fision devices, even bio or chem warfare agents. I am certainly not saying that this is a good thing but lets be realistic. You can not stop the distribution of info. And anyone who does is holding back "innovation" (not like that word has any meaning after M$'s propaganda) and the natural progression of our collective knowledge.
As far as credit card security, that is their problem. They are the ones vouching for the vailidity of the info. We should not be expected to take responsibilty for the credit card companies only liability.
Oh, how I love ranting...
Last time I checked the BRG people are doing exactly that! I couldn't get TRW to remove all of my info if I tried. And they share it will all of their fellow evil corporate empires. Sure they require money, but they have plenty. They think a mere "privacy statement" is enough reason for trusting them with our info. I dont know them I have never met them and I do not trust them. Yet they have info on us that most people wouldn't share with their mom. My spending habits are none of their business, yet it is their bussiness somehow. How did we let them pull this wool over our eyes?
BRG sell and share any info they want, when we share info and it is not in their best interest it becomes illegal. I just saw a FRY's Electronics a cd with "Info on 10 million consumers" for $10. I bet they didnt ask those 10 million people for their permission. Not to mention paying them anything for their info.
Enough of my ranting
