Jeez guys, not all tracking is evil. You know all that awesome content that exists on the web? Well the people that make and distribute that content need information to make your experience better. Let's say you start a new site. Let's use 8tracks for example: they provide a two-tiered service, one free and premium. The free service exists to drive you to a paid account, but you still derive value from it, nonetheless. In exchange for that free value, you give them stats that they use with their advertisers, who in turn give them cash they can then use to make your experience better. It's a give and take system. Thankfully, money isn't the only currency on the web, a little bit of info and some advertising goes a long way. I am willing to trade value for value, it's fair that way.
