Human Identity Trademark

Are you tired of having your name sold from under you at a drop of a hat? Did you know that if you did not want the State in which you reside to sell your identification information that you have to specifically request not to be sold out? I know that this has been true of the State in which I reside for several consecutive years in which they pursued this very policy.

Is the sale of our personal identifying information profitable enough to notice or should we, the people, ignore the money that is exploited from our very existence? If it is not profitable to those businesses and entities to sell that information, then why would they do it? It is obvious: to try to gain revenue and business/political connections.

If it is profitable and the existence of the person is necessary to the derivation of that income, doesn't it seem reasonable to expect that there would be a percentage of royalties for the use of the information going back to fund the source, you, the identity upon which it all hinges?

Wouldn't that be nice? Imagine, if you had a penny paid to you for every time a person called you or emailed you or sent you some garbage mail? That is not a major income statement per call (roughly 1 cent per call, email or piece of garbage mail) but they do sell the lists of our identification rather cheaply to one another.

That in itself is an insult to the people of the United States of America. That we are sold out cheaply to those who merit the freedom of such incomes less than those they exploit!

Corporations have long protected their rights to their corporate identity (i.e., usually in association with a trademarked corporate logo) and they are quite vicious at protecting that identity. The laws seem to favor this sort of protection for the corporate identity, giving corporations and businesses the ability to seek monetary damages, or royalties for the improper use of that corporate identity.
