I got a letter in the mail today from Plenum Publishing Corp in NY, advertising a book called _Mind Your Own Business: The Battle for Personal Privacy_ by Gini Graham Scott. It seems I am on a mailing list for privacy freaks. Oh the irony!
They must have gotten my name from somewhere. The only two sources that I can think of are the lists for CFP '94 and '95, and a revolver club that I used to be a member of. Has anyone else on the list gotten this ad?
I got the ad (and a subsequent review copy, upon request) after we published the first issue of the Journal of Law & Technology on the web. It appears that they got my name, and address, from the web (both are displayed in the "Contacting the Journal" page). I haven't had much time to read the book, but my recollection is that it is somewhat misguided in its analysis of privacy online. Its historical perspective is fairly thorough, however. --Rick Klau --------- Richard P.
