• Jonathan Weinberg, RFID Tags and Privacy Law

Nope, no notes on this one. it was good though. The Canadian privacy landscape is a weird one, but it’s better than having none I guess. I still feel statutory damages would really help this body of laws to get credibility though since actual losses are so hard to measure.

The RFID could modify the very concept of fungible goods. With Walmart imposing the use of RFID by it’s suppliers, there are just too many good things about that technology to prevent it from becoming widespread. Now will someone make a cue:CAT to read them?
