Perte de données personnelles sur 25 millions de citoyens
============================================================
1. UK government loses personal data on 25 million citizens
============================================================
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown had had to apologise to
Parliament after
two computer discs containing the personal data of 25 million
citizens were
lost in the post.
The disks contained the database on child benefit - a welfare payment
made
to the families of all children in Britain. The data include
children's and
parents' names, addresses and dates of birth, together with parents'
national insurance numbers and bank account details. The disks were not
encrypted but merely "password protected". Britain's most senior tax
official, the head of HM Revenue and Customs, has resigned.
The story has spread to a number of other systems that the government is
building to make ever more information on citizens available to ever
more
public-sector workers. For example, there's a plan to link up children's
databases so that a child's medical records, school records, police
records
and social-work records can be available to workers who contact the
child or
its parents; this was condemned as both unsafe and illegal by a November
2006 report by EDRI-member Foundation for Information Policy Research
(FIPR)
for the Information Commissioner. There's also a plan to build several
national medical record databases that will contain the records of
tens of
millions of patients; a parliamentary health committee report urged that
patients be given the right to opt out.
The government brushed aside such complaints and kept on with its
"database
state" programme. However, the current scandal has put privacy and data
protection at the centre of the political agenda.

Copyright
Le terme "copyright" est un terme du droit des USA. Un dépôt est nécessaire afin de faire valoir son droit d'auteur aux Etats-Unis (ce qui n'est pas le cas en France).
Attention ! il existe une société copyright france
Elle "offre" un certain nombre de services. Mais il n'est en aucun cas nécessaire de passer par elle pour faire valoir son droit d'auteur !
