House passes video viewing habits sharing legislation, but concerns are likely in Senate

http://j.mp/rwRJBW  (New York Times)

    In an interview last week, Judge Bork, a distinguished fellow at the
    Hudson Institute, said he was glad Congress had remedied the
    unauthorized disclosure of video rental records with a law. But, he
    added, the amendment seemed to call for further public discussion.
    "If you are going to enact change to a statute," Judge Bork said, "you
    have to debate the question of whether the costs outweigh the
    benefits."
