Judge to Decide if RadioShack's Email List Can be Sold

Standard General LP, a hedge fund that acquired 1,743 RadioShack stores and its inventory earlier this year, won the company's intellectual property at auction last week. The property includes the retailer's customer names, email addresses and mailing addresses. Today a judge will determine if this information is legal to sell and if so what the terms will be. The FTC has argued that selling this data violates RadioShack's privacy promises that the company had made to customers.
