Privacy in the Cloud
National laws already create a wide web of regulation governing privacy of data.
Data may be physically located in one or more remote servers, and may travel across
several jurisdictions to its end user destination. Businesses have a duty to protect
private or confidential data which does not end with their transfer of the data to third-party
vendors for storage or processing. To what extent does the degree of privacy for cloud users
depend on the location where the data is accessed?

Open Law Panel
The aspiration to keep cloud “open” is embodied in the Open Cloud Manifesto, yet issues such as
open APIs, Creative Commons licensing and free/open-source software could conflict – should there
