>Amazon and others argue the legislation would jeopardize third-party sellers' privacy.

Yeah, that isn't really their motivation.  What they really want to do is keep third-party seller's data  away from buyers  and buyers information away from sellers as much as possible.  Amazon wants to be the firewall that handles all communication.  The only time I get to see the buyer's address is if I ship directly, and they never disclose the buyer's phone number.  They route all email communication threw their proxy.  Letting buyers and sellers communicate directly would jeopardize their cash cow.
