I don't sign the paper they ask because I wish to keep my privacy
and anonimity, like the French Law "Informatique et Liberté"
entitles me to do.

I don't see why I would give away my mailing address and phone
number to LL just for seeing them use my contributions.

SL is a game, nothing more for me. I don't intend to give away
things that I keep private in real life (like my phone number,
which is on a "red list", i.e. never published anywhere and
that no company can ever access from a database) for just a game.

Mind you, in France we do know what the respect of people privacy
and peace means.

I do follow and abide the GPL, and even LL's damned agreement
(see my previous message about contributions to the JIRA), but
I won't give away strictly personal and private data to an
Internet-based company for it, sorry.

Remember when LL got the Residents' credit card data stollen ?

Well, call me paranoid, but I never trust Internet-based companies
for keeping private data safe, and I trust them even less as to
what they could do later themselves with this private data.

'nuff said.

Henri.
