Tivo's chief privacy officer Matt Zinn was on our air yesterday saying it's no big deal. Excuse me, Mr. Zinn, I think it is a very big deal. I never said you could do that. I never had any idea you were doing that. If that's so, you certainly hid it in the fine print.
Banks do it.
Retailers do it. Credit card companies do it. But that doesn't make it right. Sun Microsystems' Scott McNealey once said that privacy is lost when technology is gained. There's the difference.
