Law Two: Personal Information - From Privacy to Propriety

內容大綱
The Laws of Disruption, written by Larry Downes, a partner with the Bell-Mason Group, is a 12-chapter book published by Basic Books/Perseus Books Group. Composed of four sections, the book explores a simple but unavoidable principle of modern life: though technology changes exponentially, social, economic, and legal systems change incrementally. This disparity in change, Downes argues, will inevitably instigate conflicts between systems rooted in the past and the current and future generations who are dramatically rewriting the rules of both business and social interaction. Downes suggests nine emerging principles that are shaping a new legal code - the laws of disruption - that will close the gap between institutions of the past and those of the future. Chapter 4 discusses the second of the nine laws of disruption: personal information. This chapter proposes a working definition for privacy in the digital era. The author discusses the economic value of privacy to both society and individuals. He proposes a market-based model for addressing privacy issues such as those recently surfaced through social networking sites.
