Rights in Raw Data

I participated in a panel session on the Law of Raw Data, as part of  the launch of a Wolters Kluwer book where I was the author of the chapter on Canada. The panel was chaired by Jan Bernd Nordemann from Germany and included Elisa Huusk from Finland and John Osha from the United States. . We had an interesting discussion comparing the new European approach to protecting unstructed data with the North American approach which has so far favoured limited protection for such data.
