    Wow...that man and his company is a sneaky pile of shit. Ordering a pizza using a cell phone doesn't mean that I want to "opt in" to that database, it means that I just want a fucking pizza. I hope the laws abolishing third party directories is passed soon.

    Is this for real? That is sick :(

    “Intelius requires people to use the mail, to fax requests, to make copies of driver’s licenses and other things,” said Joseph Ridout, consumer services manager of the advocacy group Consumer Action. “It’s clearly an attempt to drag their feet and discourage as many opt-outs as possible.”

    so in order to find out if you're in, or to cancel being in, you have to send lots of private information :eek: when are people gonna listen to me? :o it's frustrating! And very very fucking sad :( these people can make money off your private information? What the fuck?

    'In August, before its IPO filing required him to remain silent, Ed Petersen, the company’s executive vice president, said it was surprisingly easy for Intelius to compile its directory. The company considers a consumer to have opted in to the service if he or she has ever given the number to a government agency or a business.

    "Geez, [there are] tons of ways — everything from going out to a Web site and buying a ring tone for your phone to putting your phone number down at anything [like] ordering a pizza,” Petersen told NBC affiliate KING of Seattle. “There are literally dozens and dozens of ways that a user or a consumer could opt in to a database.” '
