The only thing that Blizzard will respond to is cancelations on a massive scale. Anyone who has played the game will understand is not going to happen any time soon.
Now all of you WoW players can go back to chasing the dragon.
PCI is a good model for any company to follow who would like to secure sensitive data and audit, log, and track usage of said data. Most of the requirements are items that a good IT department should have in place to begin with. Part of the process is implementing an Information Security Policy in which all employees, contractors, or third parties must adhere to if they connect to your network. This is something that TONS of companies lack to begin with, and it brings an awareness of data sensitivity to your user base. Not all that bad if you ask me.
One negative thing that it does do is make it really hard for small e-tailers who use 3rd party carts and check out processes to make the jump to a fully owned supply chain. In that case, it can be costly.
A. Google doesn't release records to Big Brother.
B. ISP's don't have authority to give the gov't Google's records.
soo....
C. The Gov't gets closer to giving ISP's the power to inspect customers packets by shooting down Net Neutrality.
D. Big Brother get's what it wanted all along because instead of going to Google, they now go to their buddies down at AT&T and Verizon for EVERYTHING they need.
Of course this is all in the name of National Security, so we are all to accept this as good for 'everyone' and wave our flags and eat apple pie. The shift of power is going to be huge in the next few years if the Reps keep this crap up.
