> websites that want to track will keep coming up with lame excuses to ignore it.

DNT is a political solution, IMHO. Many websites and industries claim that consumers accept tracking. If the consumer sends a contrary message every time they connect, tracking them anyway is a practice that is difficult to defend in front of the FTC and Congress, and in the court of public opinion. On another level, it's simply rude.
