I can't believe they did this! That's soo bad.
I mean, if you wanr users, fine. Let them decide. But to just copy entire addr books... jeez! When will they learn?
It seems to me that everytime there's this company that makes some great sw and then messes up by secretly transmitting personal details or email addresses to themselves. Why?

I think it's the business guys or markting divisions or so, that want some quick cash in return. Something to keep investors happy and show them something. Anything. So they fall low and "steal" data or invade privacy... *sigh*

Money makes the world go round... unfortunately.
