Or separate products like Greg Alt/555-1234 and Greg Alt/address. Then anyone selling my name and info would be selling a trademark and would have to pay royalties. I think the comparison of me giving out my credit card number is a good one. If I give out my number, it is private information is illegal to distribute. My phone number and address also should be considered private unless I feel otherwise. Greg
