We can only speculate wheather the "unrealistic" is an expression of will or an expression of lack of knowledge. I had hoped it would be lack of knowledge. Note well that if they acquire some other entity subsequent to legal auction as part of liquidization of a company that has gone out of business, usually this procedure cuts out any rights of third parties. So if there is no privacy legislation that covers the data, the contractual obligations and constraints are lifted, which is not really what people intended in the first place. Best, Rigo
