It's not theoretical that personal details have value - I'm frequently
called at work by companies offering to sell me various types of it.
Also, the earlier post called it a valuable property. Surely some

This is only discussing what a fee isn't: is it possible to agree as
unacceptable anything beisdes the obvious pay-me-X fee demand?
