IANAL, but you can sue someone/entity * if the local legal framework contains "do not track me", * if the contract has been broken * etc. This will vary a lot from country to country, from company to company. So far the feature "Do not track me" doesn't protect of anything. It is more a statement sent to Web sites (if they track the http header). Do not get me wrong it is an interesting step. Another issue related: Most of the browsers get revenues through the search engine box on the top right which helps tracking the users. I wonder what would be the conflict here between the headers and the search box. -- Karl Dubost - http://dev.opera.com/ Developer Relations & Tools, Opera Software
