The concept itself. It is being sold without my express consent. I'm being given no share of the profit that someone else is making from my information.

You have implied consent because as an informed citizen you know that the law allows this data to be used in the ways defined under the law.

You have no choice, that does not mean you consent. No driver license or you give the data, it's closer to gunpoint coercion than to free choice.

Actually, your choice is a combination of getting the license and voting. The DPPA defined who could have access and for what purposes. States can also restrict it further. The DPPA and state laws are created by the officials that citizens elect, and as part of being a citizen we consent to being governed by those laws. If this sort paradigm is a problem, then there are many other issues in out society that would need to be changed, such as TSA searches and taxes.
