"Newspapers have long talked on other sites about the possibility of suing BugMeNot. Do you know why none have? They all realise the exact same things. First, that if a site has a lot of visitors using BugMeNot, then they are obviously asking too much of their visitors. And second, that if they try to force BugMeNot to not list on their site, then their user databases will simply fill up with the same people inputting fraudulant data because they will still refuse to give out their personal information. And so, BugMeNot is actually a service for these sites. With it there, they can point to why private data collection online doesn't need extra regulation, and they keep out excessive bogus account signups."
