 Mislav, if you have come across any great papers discussing how well the EU Data Protection Directive has (or has not worked), I would appreciate it if you could pass those on to me as they would be of great interest to me. Thanks. -- KateVershov - 09 Mar 2009

  • I don't think I understand either the technical or economic arguments of the essay. It's hard to have a functioning market in valueless data. The "behavioral marketing from clickstream" scam is just stupid, as I've mentioned elsewhere, so we don't have to wonder why there isn't a market in the dreck Phorm can capture. But because I don't know how to evaluate the arguments that seem to me to depend on unestablished technical or economic propositions, I don't really know how to take the "We should talk about what turns out to be a thoroughly unrealistic idea" structure of this paper. Is it a deliberate send-up? A satire whose point I miss? It can't be serious but it doesn't seem to be fooling.
