The book "How to be Invisible"[1] makes a few good arguments for privacy too.<p>For example, if you are charged with a serious felony, but later released because you are actually innocent - lack of privacy almost ensures that your life is ruined anyway, even though you are innocent, because the media loves to blow everything out of proportion - but rarely seems to go back and correct their earlier stories when you've been found innocent, or if they do, most people have already read the sensationalized news condemning you and the damage is already done.<p>So, without even breaking any laws or doing anything wrong, without privacy you might find your life ruined anyway.<p>[1] How to be Invisible, by JJ Luna, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/How-Be-Invisible-Essential-Protecting/dp/0312319061" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/How-Be-Invisible-Essential-Protecting/...</a>
