Bose headphones have been spying on customers, lawsuit claims

Combined with the registration information, that gave Bose
access to personally identifiable information that Zak and
other never agreed to share, the complaint says. Listening
data can be very personal, particularly if users are listening
to podcasts or other audio files that could shade in
information about their political preferences, health
conditions or other interests, the complaint argues. The
filing also alleges that Bose wasn't just collecting the
information. It was also sharing it with a data mining
company called Segment.io, according to research conducted by
Edelson, the Chicago-based law firm representing Zak.

The correct term is "Internet" NOT "internet" -- please don't
fall into the trap of using the latter. It's just plain wrong!
