readwriteweb.com — David Weinberger, co-author of The Cluetrain Manifesto and the more recent Everything is Miscellaneous received a letter today from Verizon. A "legalistic pamphlet" that informed him he has 45 days to opt out of 'agreeing' to let Verizon share his personal information.

Since this is a change Verizon is making to the contract you signed with them, this is a great opportunity for people to cancel their contracts without having to pay early termination fees. Just call them up, say you don't agree to the new contract terms and would like to opt out.

You realize the feds are watching the internet right? Especially social networking sites. Never openly admit to any behavior they can use against you later when they get their automated prosecution system up and running.

@purduecory Uh yah, on a private tracker I can download a tv show and watch the whole thing before it even airs on the west coast. Like I said, enjoy waiting 3 days to find a s**tty copy of what you want.Join a real private tracker (demonoid doesnt count) and you'll never go back
