Authentication is not identification. In order to trust me to withdraw funds my bank need only know that I'm the guy who opened the account. They have no need to be able to connect my account with my entire life history and all my other accounts. It's the government that wants that.
A consultation will not cost as much as you expect. Gather up all your licenses, receipts, and certificates and have him send copies to the BSA along with what is euphemisitically called a "robust" response. You'll probably want to threaten to claim vexatious litigation and assert that you will ask that legal expenses be awarded. Don't let them do an "audit".
And in the future, perhaps you might want to consider not doing business with BSA members. There are alternatives. Just a thought...
So there you go. NoScript->no KISSmetrics. "Can't be dodged"? Nonsense. For those who canot live without JS it should be trivial for a plugin to detect and delete their scripts. As usual the evil "tracking" requires the active cooperation of your browser.

Then we'd all be using Gopher.
In fact, you are not old at all (you can't be old: you're younger than I am).
You are over thirty, though, so your brain is fully mature.

If you know that these people are using it for illegal purposes why don't you simply arrest them?

No, only to those that the government deems to be using it "nefariously".
If you know that they are plotting criminality why not simply arrest them? Is that not illegal in the UK?

Then Google would have to buy Microsoft, Nokia, and Apple.
How do you know they were members? Did they produce membership cards?

Sounds like an argument for having a six acre lawn.

So much for Facebook. It's dead. It's for "old people".

For some values of "freedom". After all, the "Patriot Act" exists to protect our "freedom", right?
All it said to me was "Please wait..."

This has nothing to do with your MAC address, which is not accessible to Web sites in any case.

And in fact Ghostery already does so.
Write a Firefox plugin that returns a generic fingerprint.
Nobody has any tracking information about you that your browser didn't actively give them, and your browser is entirely under your control.
