IP: Dan's column this morning is very interesting to people

[Dave Farber <dave () farber net>]

This and more like it raise thew real issue of whether one can trust 
the  instincts of  business world in the areas of personal privacy or, as I 
believe, we will need tripwires that cause government intervention clearly 
articulated and acted upon (note I do NOT say regulation). As I have said 
before in IP notes, my time in DC convinced me that conventional regulation 
must be replaced by a mechanism that is more timely to a rapidly changing 
technology and business.
