Amazon May Sell Your Info -- 5:18 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

This Yahoo! News article says that Amazon considers your personal information to be an asset. They updated their privacy statement to reflect the fact that they might very well sell the information, although they currently aren't doing it.

Having said all that, my guess would be that every retailer in the world sells every bit of information they can get on you. A lot of information about you is a matter of public record anyway. Privacy is dead, and has been for a while. Thanks sCary.
