< | 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. | >

Brad,
I hope you do not mind my commenting (and editing a link in your reply to Gavin). If you would like other comments, you might consider adding a comment box (just add the word %COMMENT% to the very bottom of the page if you do want such a box).
The reason I am commenting is because I agree with your analysis that the decline in privacy is significant, and as I have said elsewhere, I agree that opt-in is perhaps the most viable solution. But my bigger concern is, as Gavin suggested, that people just don't seem concerned about privacy loss. Have you run into much literature suggesting otherwise?
