legitimate interests to protect. They are just going about it in a way that delegitimizes themselves and makes heroes out of thieves. It doesn't have to be that way.
marketing from an otherwise legitimate company, opting out will work, but for spammers it just makes things worse.
Spammers count on two things, that they just need a tiny percentage to respond to their solicitations, and that the rest of us will ignore it.
Once a year I make a point of researching the complete header of spam and reporting them to their ISP and any law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction. They are engaged in fraud in the traditional sense of the term, so are violating existing laws. They are counting on the rest of us to just delete them and not lodge a complaint.
If the warrant was for AIPAC's offices, than anyone who called them would have been tapped, from their office supply sales representative to members of congress who called them. Furthermore, considering the previous executive director is currently on trial for his role in the Larry Franklin case, anyone could have reasonably supposed that AIPAC's phone was tapped.
I was under the impression that it was AIPAC that was being tapped and that the tap was the result of a federal investigation, in which case there was a warrant.
The gov't developed the Internet, but I don't think they would have done it if they had understood what its impact would be. It is just possible that the significance of the privacy solution won't be recognized until it is too late. I still think there is a bundle of money to be made in privacy.
I guess the length of time they keep the records is the most important thing. When I saw the headline I too thought that it wasn't just MIT.
The market isn't ready for it yet, but privacy is the next big killer app for the Internet. Whoever solves the privacy problem is going to be very rich.

I entertain the faint hope that sharing revenue would discourage splogs.
