Who Owns Your Data?
summary
Maps regulatory regimes across 120+ countries and argues that recent laws effectively turn data into property, using Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Council (1992) to show rights create property and citing CCPA §1798.120 to illustrate legislative data stickiness. Covers paparazzi copyright disputes (Chloe Kardashian, Gigi Hadid) and a concrete AI example — a driverless car “Frida” generating viral videos and revenue — to raise tax and ownership problems, and explains why breaches leave companies liable even when thieves flee non-extradition zones under the bundle of rights framework.
