"An industry group headed by the usual suspects (Microsoft, AOL, Sun, AT&T,
etc), just released four industry-funded studies that claim privacy is just
too darn expensive, so why bother? They seem to want to kill any privacy
legislation before it can get off the ground. Interestingly enough (though
not surprising), they also seem to be working with the Direct Marketing
Association on this."
