Draft book on European data privacy law
by Peter Swire 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Greetings: Although not specifically on crypto, we have a draft book on my web site that might be of interest to readers of the list. The book will be published by the Brookings Institution in 1998, and is entitled "None of Your Business: World Data Flows, Electronic Commerce, and the European Privacy Directive." The focus of the book is on the effect of the European Data Protection Directive, which goes into effect in October 1998. The book is available from www.osu.edu/units/law/swire.htm. I've been around this list long enough to know how much many contributors hate laws and regulations that govern how data is supposed to flow from one place to another. The European privacy laws are real and quite stringent in many respects, so you may, despite your visceral distaste, want to learn more about them. Of particular interest to people here may be Chapter Four: "The Tension Between Data Protection and Modern Information Technologies." I am already aware of a couple of glitches in the draft, such as the definition of an Intranet. But I would be very interested in comments on this or other chapters. To give a sense of the book's coverage, I am enclosing the draft table of contents. Thanks for any comments you may have. I'm doing a big rewrite during the next several weeks. Peter Swire ========================== CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION A. "None of Your Business." B. Some Reasons for Data Protection Laws. C. Overview of the Book.

Warez Transfer
by Six 17 Dec '03

Warez Transfer -------------- To decrypt the 'wrzs9514.xxx.asc' files with PGP, use the password 'warez'. run 'wrzs9514.bat' to get 'wrzs9514.zip' unzip -------------- Tojohoto, You were right...you *can* tell who they are by the way they knock. They took your computer. (They just want to ask it a few questions.) :> Norton Wipeinfo doesn't run in multitasking so I didn't take time to reboot it. I ran 'delete *.*' in one MS-DOS window and ran a 'copy *.*' command on a large directory in another MS-DOS window. By the time they pulled the plug it had already ripped its own head off and shit down its own neck. I had already made sure your harddrive was badly defragmented so the two commands should have made a good mess. I put a boot&fat sector virus on your hard drive and gave them a bootable floppy disk that has another virus on it. (I told them that the floppy disk in your computer was mine so they gave it to me. Then the guy who gave it to me came back and said he needed to have it back. I gave him a disk and the lamer asked me if it was the same one. Duuhhh...) ;? If anyone on the cypherpunks list liked you, they don't now...sorry. I stayed up all night and sent you the file splitting program that Bianca sent. I know she plays with stuff so I guessed it is probably different than what you could get on the Net so I sent it to the cypherpunks list because I don't know if they are going to come get my computers, too. Berzerkeley said you can get in touch if you need to. You must owe him money, eh? Lost Taos said they don't know you and never have and to come before you call. There is something else but I forgot. Have to go and do weird stuff to my computers and disks. Bye <----> 8" pp - "Don't get any on'ya!" ppp - I messed up the .asc file order because 95 --> 3.1 multiple disk transfer duplicates filenames. The decrypted files should come out right though. I will check after I juryrig my computers.

Why should the operator of the delivery medium be held responsible for the contents of a message? Perhaps the laws are different "down under", but here in the USA anyone can deposit coins in a public telephone and make a phone call without identifying himself. The person can't be identified, and neither can you hold the telephone company responsible for any damages you claim resulted from the call. It's the same with the US Postal Service. You can mail a letter from a public mail box and as long as the proper postage is attached, it will be delivered even if it doesn't have a return address, or if it contains a false return address. But if someone mails you a letter bomb, you can't sue the US Postal Service. So why institute draconian rules to restrict e-mail which are stricter than those for other communications media? I'll reiterate my opinion that such restrictive rules would cripple the usefulness of many currently-available services. I seriously doubt that Hotmail would take on the expense of identifying each of its account holders as well as assuming liability for any that it misidentified, in order to provide a FREE service. In fact, it would impact most ISPs. As long as you pay your monthly access fees on time, most ISPs take you at your word that the name and address you supplied on your application are correct. I would suggest that the recipient of a piece of e-mail should bear the responsibility for authenticating its sender before sending someone money, or taking other action that could potentially incur a financial loss. Transferring that duty to the ISP makes no sense. For one thing, who would you hold responsible? Your own ISP? The one listed in the return address? Even if it's forged? What if the ISP is located in another jurisdiction? - --- Finger <comsec(a)nym.alias.net> for PGP public key (Key ID=19BE8B0D) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3i Charset: noconv iQEVAwUBNJmXHAbp0h8ZvosNAQFC1wf+N7lY2dXQNXt/Wl4MXPR+c2Intr4bG9Xw N7qaKiHRqNszuD55yx5iXhKRgxtbnlBzMuUv3sr800M3kmrXqQJBzeDA/ljcASSU Bi5kBHlpTcASm5H1jhRjRSk0BL+KCuTzmunCSExiB7tD2XNb/qGO+4bpcMdJ2A3z nY7kmNjptt9vZJ3ZSz2l/n7IbplcUXWiRcHeJ4Nwp6ehjYzJX43d5snzhymJhLlK 6paX461Szcn5+3ILgv2JPfMxdG282mY1dSzxpScaHZ1pu0dh3702TlO37A9sfykc 4yAFDDLaCBnidyw0Fz//YGpgNhCYphKDyx1yNF7Aeyni0Kv0YovAtg== =8nzS -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
