If I have compiled records, dossiers, etc., as I most assuredly have (got to fill up those MO disks with something), this is "my" information. Mine in the sense that others can't dictate to me what I do with it.
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. -- Bruce Baugh bruce@aracnet.com http://www.aracnet.com/~bruce
