I always write on the form that contains my signature "I understand that my
name will NOT be sold or used by any other company except ______"  and I sign
THAT, too...

Once I got really weird, and wrote to a company that HAD sold my name, and 
requested a percentage of the profits they got for selling the personal
property of another without their permission or consent.  They never answered,
but writing it gave me at least *some* satisfaction at the time.  ;>
