Really?  Please tell me how I verify that the information about me is
correct, and, if wrong, how do I get it corrected?  How do you remove
someone from the database after you've already sold the CD?  How long do you
anticipate before someone breaks the encoding method, or otherwise manages
to "steal" information they did not pay for (or, more importantly, that was
supposed to be removed from the database).
