Okay, so when I use my abilities to eztraplolate information from random data to build a profile of someone, I should pay a royalty to Amazon. I believe that this is prior art (prehistoric) and the only difference is that they have written it down (software) and now want to own the rights to it use.

Good luck!! and God help us all if this type of thing becomes law.
