Hi,
this will always be an unresolvable conflict. The IP people will ask
for more data while the privacy people will want less data. It is my
impression that North America is more worried about IP while Europe is
more worried about privacy..
...replace "North America" with "US Fortune 500 interests, their
lobbyists and congressman looking for financial assistance to support
their re-election campaign" in the preceding sentence.
The US is the anomaly in this debate. They are one of only a few
developed countries that have such a blind spot to privacy. Canadian law
is especially sympathetic to achieving balance between IP rights,
privacy requirements and law enforcement interests.
