Chapter: The Structure of Rights in Directive 95/46/EC on the Protection of Individuals with Regard to the Processing of Personal Data and the free Movement of Such Data

Quote:

As mentioned above, I do not consider these objections to be refutations of the restricted access account. Perhaps it can be developed into a more sophisticated theory. What the objections tend to show, however, is that a more resourceful theoretical framework should be developed. But let us turn, now, to the question of whether this account has anything interesting to say about the protection of the “right to privacy with respect to the processing of personal data”, i.e. the problems of the Directive. The restricted access view is clearly relevant, because the questions of restricted informational access are quite central in the Directive. In particular, the restrictions on the processing of sensitive data are concerned with restricting access to the individual. There are, however, many norms in the directive pertaining to data protection that are not adequately described as restricting access to individuals.

What I expect to learn:

To know the structure of rights in the said directive

Review:                    

Lucky for me I know this topic already, or at least I heard about it.

I was not surprised that restrictions online came about recently because hello, people are sprawling on the Net just to get files that are unlicensed and not copyrighted like crazy.

Surfing the internet and discovering new websites made me realize that the internet is a huge and fun place for me to go to because it has everything and we have the access to it. I know we deserve freedom but come on! People, freedom has limitations you know. Piracy is one of the new laws that was implemented recently that I think is about time because both the movie and the music industry is suffering big time (even though there are other industries affected by piracy, the two mentioned are the most known and abused of). I am advocating that we should enforce such law because without it, people would not accredit those people who really did the work resulting to pure plagiarism and even wide spread loss of earnings from the author themselves.
