EVERYTHING on the internet is carefully recorded, catalogued, and data-mined? those performing these actions have not disclosed this, nor do they have definate legal right to do this?

i'm absolutely, totally, 100% not surprised.

The 1986 Stored Communications Act forbids telephone companies and computer-service providers from giving the government records showing who customers had dialed or e-mailed without a warrant or court order. Because the law allows consumers to recover a minimum of $1,000 for each violation, AT&T and a handful of other companies could be on the hook for billions of dollars in civil liability, some experts in telecommunications law have said.

While it would be amusing, it'll never happen. Only the RIAA and MPAA are allowed to charge thousands of dollars per violation.
