Economist: "Shifting computer power to the cloud brings many benefits—but don’t ignore the risks"

by J.C. DE MARTIN

Cloud computing *The sky’s limit** *Shifting computer power to the cloud brings many benefits—but don’t ignore the risks Oct 17th 2015 | From the print edition ELECTRICITY was once generated where it was used; now it comes from the grid. So it is with computing power, once the province of mainframes and personal computers, and now moving into the “cloud”—networks of data centres that use the internet to supply all kinds of services, from e-mail and social networks to data storage and analysis. The rise of cloud computing is rapid, inexorable and causing huge upheaval in the tech industry. The old guard is suffering: this week’s $67 billion merger between Dell and EMC, makers of computers and storage devices respectively, was a marriage forced by the rise of the cloud (see article). Disruptive newcomers are blooming: if Amazon’s cloud-computing unit were a stand-alone public company, it would probably be worth almost as much as Dell and EMC combined.

Polizza per i rischi informatici II parte

by Diego Giorio

Scusate, ho premuto invio prima di terminare. Dicevo, arriverà anche per i privati? Nel senso che l'articolo parla di polizza appunto per famiglie, quindi non solo per imprese, ma se si va a vedere, mentre la polizza per le imprese è molto completa, quella per i privati lo è meno. Naturalmente è ovvio che le imprese paghino premi più alti ed abbiano esigenze diverse, ma, anche proporzionalmente alle diverse esigenze, mi sembra molto meno completa Saluti D.

NYT: "As U.S. Tech Companies Scramble, Group Sees Opportunity in Safe Harbor Decision"

by J.C. DE MARTIN

*As U.S. Tech Companies Scramble, Group Sees Opportunity in Safe Harbor Decision* By MARK SCOTTOCT. 20, 2015 Companies are scrambling. American and European lawmakers are upset. And no one really knows how to respond. The cause of the anxiety? The decision two weeks ago by Europe’s highest court to strike down a 15-year-old international agreement, known as safe harbor, that had allowed companies to move digital information like people’s web search histories between the European Union and the United States. The ruling has left businesses like Facebook and Google, which rely on the easy transfer of online information to make money from digital advertising, on uneasy legal footing.

Il ministero impegna universitari a inviare dati personali negli US sulla base del Safe Harbour?

by Alessandro Mantelero

In questo periodo a tutti i professori e ricercatori italiani è stato chiesto di adottare un codice ORCID al fine di poter eseguire le procedure ministeriali di valutazione della qualità della ricerca (http://www.anvur.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=839:arriv… ). Il rilascio del codice comporta un trattamento di dati personali ad opera della società statunitense ORCID Inc., 10411 Motor City Drive, Suite 750, Bethesda MD 20817, USA. Ad una prima rapida lettura delle Privacy Policies di ORCID Inc. mi sono dunque venuti alcuni dubbi che condivido in lista. Le Privacy Policies (http://orcid.org/privacy-policy punto 12.0) di ORCID informano che “we may store and process personal information on servers located outside of the country where you originally deposited the data” e prevedono che il trattamento trasfrontaliero si basi sul Safe Harbour (“Regardless of where we store and process data, we take steps to protect your information, consistent with the principles set forth in this Privacy Policy, which are intended to comply with the Safe Harbor Principles issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce for data transfers from the European Union and Switzerland to the United States.”). Si aggiunge inoltre che “As a not-for-profit organization, we are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States Federal Trade Commission, which oversees the implementation of Safe Harbor Principles. Consequently, ORCID is not able to self-certify compliance on the US Department of Commerce Safe Harbor List.”. Infine si precisa che “This Privacy Policy shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York (United States), excluding New York’s conflict of interest rules”. Alla luce di quanto sopra mi pare venga da chiedersi: - se sia legittimo che il Ministero e l’ANVUR richiedano a tutti i professori e ricercatori italiani di conferire propri dati personali ad ORCID Inc. - se, dopo la sentenza della Corte di Giustizia che ha invalidato il Safe Harbor, sia legittimo tale trattamento - se il MIUR ed il Garante per la protezione dei dati personali non debbano tempestivamente intervenire per valutare il blocco del trattamento in opera, non essendo quest’ultimo più legittimato dalla validità dell’accordo Safe Harbour. I tanti colleghi in lista cosa ne pensano? Mi è sfuggito qualcosa? AM -- Prof. Avv.

il Tribunal Supremo sul "derecho al olvido" dopo Google Spain

by Guido Noto La Diega

Per quanto nel merito il Pleno del Tribunal Supremo ordini misure di deindicizzazione, esso, in forza di considerazioni attinenti all'interesse pubblico all'informazione, impone la conservazione delle notizie nelle hemerotecas digitales perche' "*el llamado “derecho al olvido digital” no ampara que cada uno construya un pasado a su medida, impidiendo la difusión de informaciones sobre hechos que no se considere positivos, ni justifica que aquellos que se exponen a sí mismos públicamente puedan exigir que se construya un currículo a su medida*" Qui anche il testo integrale della sentenza. http://www.poderjudicial.es/cgpj/es/Poder-Judicial/Tribunal-Supremo/Noticia… -- *Guido* Dr. Guido Noto La Diega <http://www.law.qmul.ac.uk/staff/notoladiega.html>, Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Cloud Computing Law <http://www.cloudlegal.ccls.qmul.ac.uk/project/researchers/index.html> - Queen Mary University of London <http://www.mccrc.eu/Pages/Research-Team.aspx> President of Ital-IoT <http://italiot.altervista.org/about-us/> - Centre of Multidisciplinary Research on the Internet of Things Avvocato <http://www.studioperrino.it/intro/index.asp> (Commercial and IP/IT Lawyer) Cultore della materia in Civil Law and Intellectual Property <http://www.unipa.it/persone/docenti/n/guido.notoladiega> - University of Palermo 67-69 Lincoln's Inn Fields London WC2A 3JB g.notoladiega(a)qmul.ac.uk +44(0)2078823386 @guidonld https://it.linkedin.com/pub/guido-noto-la-diega-ph-d/6/614/669 This e-mail and any attachment hereto are strictly confidential and are exclusively intended for the person above identified.

Berkman Center Webcast live oggi ore 18 - Property law and the blockchain

by Giuseppe Futia

Property law and the blockchain https://cyber.law.harvard.edu/events/luncheon/2015/10/Murck <http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/events/luncheon/2014/06/sigal> *with Berkman Fellow, Patrick Murck* Today, 6.00 pm Webcast live: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/interactive/webcast http://nexa.polito.it/berkman-webcast-live What kind of assets are created in blockchain markets and how should the law treat them? As the first successful blockchain asset, a bitcoin has variously been considered a commodity, currency and personal property by regulatory agencies, courts and policymakers. This flexible interpretation has created confusion over jurisdictional boundaries and the application of commercial law concepts. Compounding this confusion is the reliance on insufficient analogies used to describe aspects of these systems like "wallets", "coins," and "miners". These abstractions gloss over important nuances in how the bitcoin system actually works, and creates a hazard for regulators, policymakers and academics who use these analogies to shape law and policy decisions. Over the course of this year, we will explore three primary areas where foundational legal research and explanation is most needed: => Property Rights in Blockchain Assets * Clearing and Settling Asset Transfers on the Blockchain * Counter-party Risk From Nodes on a Blockchain Network In this talk we will explore the first area of interest and try to unpack the basic property interests one can have in a bitcoin. About Patrick Patrick is a lawyer and expert on bitcoin and blockchain-based technologies. He will conduct research into the law and policy implications of bitcoin, distributed ledgers and smart contracts. Previously Patrick was a co-founder of the Bitcoin Foundation where he served at times as General Counsel and Executive Director. Patrick has engaged regulators and policymakers in the US and Europe on bitcoin and the emerging digital economy. He was named among America’s 50 Outstanding General Counsel for 2014 by the National Law Journal. Patrick also serves as President Board member for the BitGive Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on charitable giving and social impact using bitcoin.
