My problem is the install Cd's. They deliberately set it to give dateline your information. They should add a line...even a short one at the end saying that your information is going to a third party. Otherwise, someone could sue for First Amendment rights (Invasion Of Privacy).
But the theft... Its a gray area open for interpretation.
According to the transcript which was linked they said "To get our bait iPods to work, whoever takes them will have to install a disc. What they won't know is that when they click 'I Agree' on a licensing agreement that appears on-screen, they'll be consenting to provide some of the same kind of information they provide Apple to Dateline."
So there was an EULA that popped up on screen during the install in which the people did agree to provide the data to Dateline. Since no one ever reads the agreements I doubt anyone would even notice. Although if you know iPods you should realize its been a long time since they provided an install CD.

Ya...
I was wondering about that. What was the last iPod without a CD? 5th Gen or 1st Gen Nano .
How well are one's first ammendment rights protected if those rights are violated by an illegal act that the "victom" is commiting?
