Now you can worry, I guess.

This is basically wiretapping: Intercepting communications without the consent or knowledge of the party.
That is illegal.
The information is also proprietary business and medical and conversations with lawyers and other.

Piracy hurts everybody. SOPA rules of up to $65k or was it $85k per incident. That's what was adjudged on some housewife who's kid downloaded a bunch of songs.

It should be "Opt-In" by default, with a specific separate contract in plain language signifying everything where the data goes to, and what happens if that will change, and there should be clear punitive recourse for it occurring without consent (like there would be any way to prove that without an insider whistle-blower).
