Every definition ("judicial data") must be interpreted to the maximum in favour of the data subject and against commerce. For most lawyers, privacy law fills in some gaps between substantive rights where individuals in a free society might need protection. For Mr Hustinx and his colleagues, the law of privacy is the continent and other rights - property, contract - are isolated areas which must be carefully monitored and justified. What possible business is it of the EDPS to pronounce upon what sovereign states may agree on a Graduated Response? Privacy commissioners should accept the substantive legal framework presented to them and not assume public postures on what are political issues. The intellectual bottom dropped out of Marxism in 1989, but privacy advocates (sometimes the same people as pre-1989, e.g., M. Cohn-Bendit) are carrying on the good work of controlling private property in the interests of the collective.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
