that's such horseshit. it shouldn't be an "opt-out" at all, it should be a fucking opt-in. if i want something bad enough i'll fucking ask for it. i'm not going to go argue to some dickhead about how they keep sending me shit and creating more shit for me to throw-away or ignore, i feel like MY time is for ME. not some asshole who wants to sell me the newest piece of flaming shit on the market because one month ago i ordered something out of some magazine. when is the last time that you saw a truely worth-while mass produced and mass consumed 'better product'? last time i even HEARD about one was prior to the release of the x-box, i know that's hard to believe, but microsoft tailored to GAMERS specifically there, it was an opt-in. not an opt-out. why would you want them to know what or who or when you call. the fact that they make money because they tell all of my phonecall information is bullshit, if ANYONE makes money off of my phonecalls it should be ME. "but it's in the form of better products..." shut the fuck up, no it isn't, you're lying to yourself. if you want that specific product that bad you'll find it yourself. it won't end up as an impulse "we noticed you like to buy..... and thought you might be interested in...." fuck that. i don't even wanna hear that.
