    BTW, a while ago I found a site which would allow you to save your security footage on their servers, but they would analyze the footage and sell the information. It scared the hell out of me...

That is sick. Especially considering the fact that facial recognition is getting so good. Also, the person on the security tape doesn't know that they are being sold. That should be illegal.

Why not just walk around the city with a video camera, and sell the people on the street?: "Hey look, Tom Smith, who lives at 555 Second St., and makes $95k is on East 39 street every afternoon."
