Hi: Interesting thing about this crap. Sonic Blue, as I understand it, is
to collect information by identifying who has devices, and I suspect they
will have to identify who that is, right? Or, is it that they just
identify the device without looking at any identifying information that
would be needed to verify that that device is owned and operated by
someone that fits the criteria for "customer". Now, what if the offending
party, should there be one, turns out to be a dignitary, an extremely
likable congressperson, a judge, or whatever? Nope, there's no way
they're not going to match personal identifying info to the 'unique
qualifier', and that, is pure, unadulterated privacy invasion at the
highest level. I do believe they have gone too far, on this one.
Thanks,
tom
