Er, what the heck is so objectionable about renderosity saying "we have 66000 regular viewers, 54% are male, and 43% are female, and 3% have declined to indicate, of those 66000 34% are between the ages of 17-24... and so forth. That's what was said is happening with the data. No body is going to know which of those datapoints is you, so why do you care? Your "personal" data is NOT being distributed, just aggregate statistics, and frankly that's all anyone cares about. Advertisers use those figures to aim their advertisements. Marketers don't care about you, only about large classifiable groups of people. They don't WANT your personal data, even if Renderosity was giving it out, which it isn't. Good Grief!
