I voted good. A lot of the bad things you listed in your initial statement, such as identity theft, could occur before the internet. You might be too young to remember, but back in the 70s and 80s, there was a big advertising push by banks and credit card companies to ensure that you not only received your carbon-copy receipts from the cashier, but also the carbon sheets themselves, so you could destroy them by hand. Otherwise, it was possible for someone to pinch a few carbon pages that had a perfect imprint of your credit card number as well as your signature, and go to town, without you finding out until your next monthly bill.
