The Issue of Information Ownership
Tuesday, March 25, 2008 at 6:00AM Ahmed ElAmin is a business writer of over 20 years' standing specialising in development issues, technology, international business and offshore finance. He currently serves as the editor of FoodProductionDaily.com.
In May, 2007 Ahmed published an article about data ownership in The Royal Gazette after reading my white paper, Banking on Granular Information Ownership. Here's the introductory paragraph to Ahmed's article:
"Could we treat data as if it were money, private objects that can be deposited, exchanged, managed, and protected? This is the concept Steve Holcombe, CEO of Pardalis, put to me by e-mail after reading one of my articles on proposed EU legislation to limit the use of radio frequency identification technology (RFID)."
