This has certainly got me thinking...
It was said way back in the early days of this thread that "in business, perception is reality".

Or something like that. I'm paraphrasing as there's little chance of me actually finding the original posting, but that was the gist of it.

80/20 have only been going for a few months and they are already being seen as little more than apologists for spyware makers and others who would take our privacy away. That may not be the case in reality, but if that becomes the public perception then it may as well be true.
