Privacy and DRM

Personal information should be protected under copyrights as well as privacy laws.  The government of Canada is about to release a new bill which will see Canada follow the US with Digital Rights Management.  I would like that to extend to my personal information I created everything about me on facebook.  I would like corporations like Facebook and Youtube and others to be forced to treat my personal information like I will be forced to treat music, movies and software.

If I buy a copy of Adobe Photoshop I cannot copy it and resell it, I cannot share it with other, and I don’t own it.  I think the same restrictions should be applied to Facebook.  Facebook “rents” my information which they are free to use on their site to advertise to me. But while they can use it, but they cannot sell it (which they are), cannot share it (which they are) and cannot copy it (which they are).

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander
