As for the "right to be left alone", would that not extend to everyone?-á Or is it the only for the privileged few!?-á So that for instance, information about consumers would have to be purged (so it could never be leaked or stolen) based on their "right to be left alone".-á
But perhaps it is time to ban the EULA's that have so far shielded some products from the warranty obligations they should at least by now rightly assume (no one can any longer with a straight face honestly claim that software and data processing are too nascent as businesses to bear up under the warranty laws and liability exposure under which all other products exist!).-á In which case, sure - let's quash those EULAs and simultaneously dispense with most regulations - letting the legal gunslingers battle it out in the courts (without artificial liability and class action restrictions).
