Patchwork Laws
[TedZ]: I'm almost done reading the chapter in Asprey re: privacy. One point that I find interesting is that US law is a "piecewise patchwork" (my own interpretation of the text) of laws, and apparently that's ok with everybody in the legal system. Europe appears to have a more unified approach to privicay. Comments?

US Privacy Laws
Is technology outstripping the law? Witness several recent cases of stalking, where the stalkers utilized high tech equipment such as GPS transmitters, webcams, and spyware to harass victims -- in many cases, the stalkers' actions were "on the edge" of current law.
