This is an interesting series of postings at Boing Boing: Chris Hoofnagle of the Electronic Privacy Information Centre was perusing direct marketing publications and noticed a customer list for sale full of subscribers to a digital music centre. Boing Boing posted about the particular of the list and it wasn't long before the blog's readers had tracked down the company that sold the list. Of course, a discussion of the service's privacy policy ensued: See Boing Boing: EPIC asks: which digital music service is selling your data? (UPDATED).
As an aside, the DMNews' lists make interesting reading. My fave so far is a list of people who have recently purchased a firearm or have inquired about purchasing a gun for personal protection. That list might be useful for someone who wants to do something other than selling gun locks.
