Assume
this happens a lot!
Cory
Doctorow talks common sense about privacy in describing a huge data
leak whose immediate owner is as yet unknown. Cory writes, in part:
The brokers don’t think they were breached. PDL founder Sean Thorne hypothesized that some of the data his company nonconsensually gathered on 1.5 billion people was sold to a normal customer who mishandled it and that is “their responsibility.”
Oxydata exec Martynas Simanauskas said that while his company sells its nonconsensual dossiers on terms that require its customers to manage the data conservatively, “there is no way for us to enforce all of our clients to follow the best data protection practices and guidelines.”
They’re totally right about one thing: once you gather and sell this data, you can’t control it — it’s pluripotent, omnitoxic, and immortal. It’s nuclear waste.
The thing they’re wrong about is the wisdom of selling that pluripotent, omnitoxic, immortal toxic waste, given that they can’t control it.

The
challenges that autonomous vehicles pose to the civil liability of
the producer
In
today's world it is almost impossible to keep abreast of
technological and scientific development, the repercussions of which
have been felt not only on the global economy but also in our daily
lives. Accordingly, since the arrival of one of the most promising
scientific advantages of this century - Artificial Intelligence -,
several industrial sectors, namely the automobile industry, have been
developing to an immeasurable rhythm. In this way, the so called
Autonomous Vehicles will soon be part of our daily lives, thus
becoming preeminent for the Law to anticipate issues that may arise
in the future, such as the potential civil liability of the producer
of Autonomous Vehicles. Hence, this dissertation will address the
suitability of the 33-year-old European Directive on producer
liability in light of the challenges posed by Autonomous Vehicles.
Then, based on a careful and critical analysis, it will point out the
necessary changes to be performed within such legal framework.
