[Ecommerce] The Death of Privacy

[Jeff Williams]

All,

  I firmly disagree and know otherwise.  It all depends on what
business one is engaged in...

D'Agostino writes, "Why don't companies care about privacy?
Because there's [1]not enough money to be made from securing sensitive
customer information, says Jeff Rothfeder in an article posted recently
at CIO Insight. Furthermore, there's not enough money to be lost in
privacy breaches for companies to care. 'Most companies claim that
privacy is a priority =E2=80=94 chiefly because they believe consumers are
more
willing to do repeat business with them if personal information is
carefully handled,' he writes. 'But in reality, many companies are
woefully inept at protecting privacy.'"

Regards,

liability depends upon whether B is less than L multiplied by
P: i.e., whether B is less than PL."
