(But seriously, Michael, do I have any legal grounds to demand that an organization not be permitted to store my personal information on any network built on proprietary, non-opensource components?)

What the heck is up with CBC lately? … been acting very weired.
Also something of note…
They were attacked by a Russian trojan and the info was sent to Ruassina dataservers.
Most of the world’s botnets are Russian controlled.
Most of the adaptive and vicious “smart” viri and worms are Russian.
Most of the servers where stolen credit info is traded are Russian.
But all we hear about is how CANADA IS THE WORLD’S LEADER IN COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT OMFG!!!!! from the damn Yanks.
There is a problem here…………………
