 People just don't seem very fired up about privacy protection. Wouldn't something drastic need to happen to change that?

>		Thanks for the comment! I would answer your question in two ways. First, Congress seems to have already taken up the issue in the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, that I have yet to link to in my article. Here is a link to the press release: [[http://www.knowledgemosaic.com/gateway/Rules/PRE.2009-248.111709.htm[GLB Act]]. Second, I think Professor Moglen was making the point in class a few weeks ago that something 'drastic' did happen to get people fired up about privacy protection; specifically, he seemed to argue (and my article agrees) that data mining was one of a number of causes of the recent financial crisis. Still, I agree with you that the organized power ostensibly lies with those opposed to privacy protections.
