A lot of personal information sellers are having their databases hacked these days. More and more personal data is being stolen. Is there a problem here? And if so, what’s the free market solution?
Personal Data
(in verse)
The data brokers probe my life
With my privacy they meddle,
They learn my tastes, my politics,
Which they then proceed to peddle.
I’m just a product to these folks,
Some bytes on their bus’ness ledger,
A jumble of some facts and stats,
Their standard human measure.
In truth, however, I don’t care
How data banks praise or soil me,
I just think when I’m sold as goods
I oughta get a royalty.
