See my previous posts on complicity.

But I agree, it is unlikely that people will be made aware of "why" they have to give informed consent and the possible "consequences" of doing so. If they were then an Opt-In system would only attract a fraction of a percent of users and would die instantly as a product.

Hold off on the paper link for now, I finally got some urgent work out of the way today so I have a chance tonight to finish the paper and plan to do so.

The videos are on http://tobymeres.net/

Don't forget BBC "Click" Saturday and Sunday morning this weekend 11:30 on BBC News 24. (Should be available on iPlayer Friday night I believe)
