It's one thing for governments, who have some legitimacy in what they're doing, but have other people doing it... it's not going to happen."
I completely disagree. They have no legitimacy to be doing it whatsoever. Private individuals actually would, whether for resource prospecting, security, or search and rescue. There's lots of legitimate commercial applications for it. But letting a completely unaccountable, monopolistic organization that has the power to imprison and/or fine you thousands of dollars for destroying their hardware? Letting them monitor, track, and pass judgments upon you remotely from hundreds of feet in the air?
You must think CISPA is fantastic.
Just to clarify.
