I'm writing an essay about the problems engendered by the sale of personal information about individuals -- be it credit information, consumer information, mailing lists, etc. As part of the project, I'd like to interview as many information providers as possible. Do you know of a company that's in the business of reselling personal information (other than Equifax, which I'm sure is foremost in most people's minds right now)? If so, please send e-mail and I may try to interview them about their business practices. I'm also interested in getting the text of the proposed EEC rules regarding distribution of personal information. Again, if you have a source, please e-mail me. Thank you....
