My point was a social observation; "As an industry we're more concerned 
with shiny things than protecting our individual freedom or privacy. So 
long as this continues (and it will) the perceived injustices that many 
us are equally outraged about will continue to worsen."

If the only thing you managed to take away from it was "WAHHHHH! LEAVE 
BRITNEY ALONE!" then you're just another part of the problem.
