Nice post, Tench. Privacy is an important issue. What is lacking is not vigilance. What is lacking are the legal protections we need. When state DoTs can sell licensee information and the fact that a person got a speeding ticket or DUI to those who want to sell legal services or rehab programs to that person, we have a problem. And that is the tip of the iceberg. And this has absolutely NOTHING TO DO WITH CPU IDs!!! I hope the privacy groups will focus on the cure for our privacy woes instead of easy targets that gain them publicity. I still contend that our market relationship with EU will drive this issue forward soon. EDIT: With some good privacy laws in place, perhaps the DoJ can occupy its time and our money by enforcing laws that protect citizens, instead of trying to stop MSFT and INTC for their alleged "harm".

These guys (six of Them) live on 250K in total!!! If they were interested in anything other than protecting civil liberties they would get jobs paying them at least that much each as Washington Beltway Bandit Attorneys. From what I can gather they have serious people on the internet some 10,000 on their list who think they have something worth listening to. Why do you think Intel met with them! Getting publicity may be what some people here want (excluding me) but certainly not such a respected and self-sacrificing group of civil libertarians! Get a grip.
