Dave, how long have you known me? 10 years? More? 
 
Since we are not charging for the report (most analyst firms charge for their work), asking who is getting our 
intellectual property is not wrong.   Our privacy policy says we won't share the information provided, or do anything 
untoward with it by the way. 
 
In fact, it is the folks who fill out make-believe names (Hans Blix is one name used) who are doing something wrong. 
 
Is someone doesn't want the free report, they are under no obligation to provide the info and download the report. 
 
But go to any research company for a free report, and registration (usually with more required info than Basex asks 
for) is omnipresent.

 This site requires that you register before downloading the article. In my
 experience, that's another way of adding to your spam load.
