[MyData & Open Data] we have a price: 11KEUR/personal medical data

[Rayna]

Thanks for highlighting this, Stef.

There's a very worrisome trend advocated/lobbyied for by some prominent
people here in France about implementing some sort of "copyright-like"
legislation for personal data. In other words, the baseline is to have a
copyright framework that views personal data as your property --
possessions that you could, naturally (sic), sell and make money out of.

The idea sounds insane to me (insane as in lack of basic intellectual
sanity) but I am under the impression such a vision starts spreading. I'd
be curious to know whether you've seen similar discussions/trends in your
respective countries and/or on a more transnational level. After all, the
EU Data Protection directive is the most deeply plagued one by all sorts of
lobbyies in the history of the EU...

Thanks,
Rayna
