Re:Winamp does this too (Score 1)

Maybe it's just me but I honestly don't care if some site logs that I viewed porn from so and so site for so many minutes. Why should I?

Things change. In 20 years from now when your life is scrutinized because you're running for office (or applying for a mortgage, or whatever they decide is a decent excuse), what information do you want to be archived about your current life?

Even if they (MS in this case) don't have a reason to sell the information, there's no reason why they couldn't save it. It might seem innocuous now, but who knows what will be verboten in the future. I doubt cigarette buyers in the 60s thought about what people would think 40 years later, but I bet they're glad the information isn't on file somewhere.
