There seems to be increased disregard for the private data of United States citizens on the part of government and industry. Examples would include warrantless searches at the direction of our President, telephone company agreements to provide confidential data in the absence of a warrant, and presently, a federal court order requiring defendant, Google, to turn over private information on it's end users to plaintiff, Viacom, in a CIVIL case where compensatory damages are being sought in the absence of any criminal allegation.

My concern is that the Nazi rulers of Germany had a similar fixation with the private data of citizens and used it for the worst of purposes. Don't kid yourself. It can happen here! A note of protest to Viacom and the court of Judge Louis Stanton, who is hearing the Viacom case, is in order.

Thanks for uploading Image:340x.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 03:32, 11 July 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
