I don't see that this is necessarily true for information any more than it is property. Property can be bought, sold, traded, given away, made...but it can also be stolen. Just as I have a right to complain if you walk off with my couch without my permission, so if you walk off with data on my blood chemistry or credit history without my permission.
Yes. For instance, a photographer should get a release for a photo of a person, particularly if he plans to resell it. It does make me wonder whether you could file a suit against TRW for selling information about you, particularly since it could affect you adversely and there is no guaruntee it is accurate. /* From Chris Adams <adamsc@io-online.com> on a Warped PC running a proudly unregistered (for now) PMMAIL 1.5!
