In Canada, and specifically in British Columbia, an individual’s personal information may be considered forever to be bonded to that individual. <a href="http://weblawg.costinmedia.com/wp/privacy/privacy-between-private-parties-and-the-disclosure-of-information/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“A lawyer shall not disclose … having been consulted or retained by a person…” ... The question that remains for me is whether, in light of the iOS4 privacy policy, lawyers should avoid even carrying unsecured electronic devices that allow questionable access to information by undisclosed third-party app providers. ... You don’t need a person’s name to identify them, nor any unique piece of data.  What you need is a unique combination of non-unique pieces of data. <a href="http://weblawg.costinmedia.com/wp/privacy/lawyers-and-iphones-and-ipads-shouldnt-mix/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RoB Magazine has declared Apple the victor over Research in Motion in a presumed battle between Cupertino and Waterloo for the smartphone Plains of Abraham. ... I understand that for an investor, the likely more profitable performer in the short term is an important determination; but to pronounce the industry a zero-sum game is foolish. That said, the author raises an important point that if followed in combination with RIM’s existing advantages could shoot it back up to leading Apple around a marketplace of its own design. <a href="http://weblawg.costinmedia.com/wp/communications/rob-magazine-declares-victory-on-the-smartphone-plains-of-abraham/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

Goodwill has to do with the perception of your enterprise, and liability has to do with getting into real legal trouble.  How are they connected by this Web 2.0 stuff?  ...

		<description><![CDATA[With WOM and social network marketing, we move from getting people to wear branded clothing to transforming them into fans banding together to pontificate, not on the merits of your product, but on the social imperative of being a fan of the brand.  ...  We do have something that looks a lot like agency...  Once you let someone use the stuff you’re supposed to be protecting, and you let them use it to an extent that gives them a fair bit of potential power because of the near-instantaneous and viral nature of the networks used, you’re actually handing over some pretty hefty reins.  <a href="http://weblawg.costinmedia.com/wp/communications/does-wom-or-social-network-marketing-create-agency/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Instead of tightening your grip on intellectual property (mostly trade-mark with a healthy dose of copyright and some neighbouring rights) and then hoping for royalties, the group doing the marketing attempts to engineer a type of personality cult for the brand. ...  What I'm talking about is tying differences (real or created) to cultural phenomena, and then grabbing hold of those phenomena and driving from that end; the product becomes a tag-along to those cultural memes. <a href="http://weblawg.costinmedia.com/wp/intellectual-property/what-would-you-call-open-source-marketing/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
