Considering their pleas for sales every 2nd week to buy their content, I don't think that was a smart move on their part.
I know their content is amazing, but giving information on people that 1) give you business 2) bring you business through sales
it's not a good move on anyones' part.
I wonder what the courts would say if Visa gave out the information of their credit card holders to someone who 'says' they own the patent on the 'swiping of the card' technology (extreme example but again just an example) there would be privacy issues they'd have to deal with.
Nowhere have I read that they could give my business or personal information to a third party other than the police/fbi/irs and what not. For someone else, there are serious privacy issues they'll have to deal with.
If they've changed their TOS in the last few days, they have to have advised us prior to having given the info, and if we decided we wanted to close our accounts with them - they'd better not have forwarded that info.
Anyone with the balls & a good lawyer can cause them enough heat - the ones that gave that info 'to sweeten their deal' & ACACIA for using SPAM tactics to get people to settle - so they can have enough ammunition to try getting the bigger guys.
