It seems so stupid that I'm like a suspect for wanting an exchange of information without dropping my pants and bending over. No, I don't want cookies. Yes I want to read the article but no, I don't want to "sign up."

It makes me feel like being a f*cking hermit. But I prefer to pirate. Even though I'm not that good at it. Screw them. I got two private trackers, a VPN, and I hope that's enough.

That would be nice, I agree. However, like you say, the data is already being used, and it's much harder to put the cat back in the bag. Rather than trying to do so and ban all data collection, it's much more practicable to embrace it but ensure that people are at least fairly compensated.
