I agree with you. I'd even go as far as saying that some data should be freely provided to companies to be resold. It would allow businesses to make better products, and give them an incentive to help customers better use the data. I'd like to say that I'm only ok with public data being given to companies when there are no major privacy concerns. I'm not ok with the state selling lists of people's phone numbers who aren't on the Do Not Call list to telemarkers. I'm more referring to a recent story where a town in Michigan blocked a company from getting information on parking spots from their website.
