American Airlines gives customer data to other APR 13 2004
American Airlines gives customer data to other companies without the customers' permission. Guess who flew American in June 2002? Me! Yippee!

Wrong place lia?
Anyway, as for the AA thing - Woopty doo. I understand the need for your liberties, but unless you can explain to me what has actually happened to you, why care? It's happening to every one of us all the time, and this is one of the times we find out about it. Do you really feel less free? I don't hear any chains.

Yeah, this kind of thing would never help. The 9/11 hijackers were flying on, oh, wait...
Thom Shanker is in Iraq and hasn't been kidnapped yet, to lia's great dismay.

The songs came from a European satellite music channel and a communal computer where 12.8 gigabites of tunes had been downloaded for sharing on MP3's. The rule was simple: Take some music, add some music.
I guess Real American Heros break copyright too! Take that, RIAA!
That said, this article was a painful read. NYT, please never have Thom Shanker write about technology again, he's no good at it.
