[DotGNU]Re: [Arch]Re: [Auth]a list of what we need the personal Data system to do.

[Jeremy Petzold]

I realy don't think that we should make the decision for the people 
about who holds their information. if they want a third party to do it 
then they should have the right and the ability to do so. this may have 
a positive effect as it will creat compotition for  "information Banks" 
I can see subscription services that your information will not be sold, 
and I see free services that will sell your information. ISPs would also 
beable to use this as a meathod  of getting customers by saying 
Information hosting is free with a subscrition to their service and they 
will not sell your data.

I don't know, I Just think the option should be there for the Customer 
to make, since we are talking about freedom hear, people need to be free 
to make their own choices.
