It's not quite as bad as described.

"Ultimately, a settlement was reached and the sale of customer information was approved, but in truncated form. RadioShack agreed to limit contact information to email addresses only, and only those that were active in the two years prior to the bankruptcy filing. Additionally, transaction data was reduced from 21 fields to 7. The purchaser agreed to abide by RadioShack’s privacy policies and to require affirmative assent to any material change to them. The settlement also provided that customers would receive a notice of the transfer of their information and an opportunity to opt out."
