The Los Angeles Police to open its historical archive of photos, some of which date back to 1925, taken by officers on duty: a unique opportunity to look at the American society and its evolution from the perspective of crime and those who fight it.
Fortunately, in the US, there is no rule similar to the GDPR’s distorted and forced interpretation that would prevent the publication of photographs like these.
The prevalence of the “right to history” over the processing of data of now deceased people – and not only – is an issue that I have dealt with extensively in Protecting Personal Information.
We must stop thinking that the sea of law is inhabited only by the GDPR and, above all, that the GDPR is the “biggest fish in the pond”.
Another clichè now ubiquitous is that for which the “customer – or, as far as the GDPR is concerned, the data-subject – must be pampered”.

In practice, however, this translates into having to follow the reactions of anyone who shouts enough to be heard, even if they have never bought – and never will buy – a particular product. The “Zeiss case” is a paradigmatic example of this paradoxical condition in which a company is “hostage” to perfect strangers. Continue reading “The Zeiss Case. Does Interacting with the “People of the Web” Is Still a Viable Marketing Strategy?”
The apparently marginal case of the removal from Netflix Italia of the poor adaptation of NeonGenesis Evangelion’s dialogue,s poses, in reality, a serious problem of moral Right of Author: that of the mutilation of the creative work.
Fact: Netflix commissions the rewriting of the dialogues of the Italian version of a very famous Japanese animation series: NeonGenesis Evangelion (新世紀エヴァンゲリオン). The dialogist – this is the professional figure who carries out this task – delivered such a poor result – in the audience’s perception – that Netflix decided to suspend the publication of the series waiting to repair the damage.
