> Recall that the White Pages contained names and addresses in a (largely) neutral format, and that both individuals and businesses were included. And still, the Yellow Pages were successful because they were helpful. People liked using them, so businesses were happy to pay for better exposure. > The service you used was monetized. It just didn't charge you a fee. Instead, it will seek to charge someone else a fee later for data about you. You didn't use a charity. It's not clear why I should care? They provided me with a valuable service (or they might have been, I was just testing it out), if they can get paid for that, good for them. They didn't ask for any information from me, contact or otherwise, so I doubt the value for resale is very high.
