Comment on Evercookie: A cookie that undeletes itself from 8 different storages

What are the privacy laws surrounding conciously cirumventing user intent like is? Is it legal to use this in the USA? In Europe?

for me that the major question here. what are the legal implications since using this sort of cookie involves a set of hacks that derive the normal use of various systems for a purpose they were not intended for in the first place, and since it is intended to defeat some of the privacy protections of browsers. I am not condemning this clever system but I am curious of the privacy and other legal issues here...
