It's the difference between accidentally running over a deer on the highway now and then, and going deer hunting. If I benefit from the deer's death, I have an incentive to make life much much harder for the deer. If I were a deer I would consider hunting and accidents totally different.

Too many sites do the unethical thing first and then say "Hey, friendly warning :) :) :) We already did something you don't like :)"

Opt-ins should be the standard. Not despite the fact that they result in less data, but because of it.
