    Joe Fallica | Wednesday, April 19, 2000 - 08:01 pm  Hello Can you return brief summary answers to these questions or give me a clue to URL's which may contain the answers? Can I copyright my personal information (Name, Social Security Number, bank account, etc, etc) so I can charge a fee anyone who uses, sells, profits or transfers my information? Is there a legal/code section which requires anyone/organization that uses personal/business information having to acquire such data directly from the owner or principle that such information refers to? |

Particularly the SSN since it originates with the Federal Government, who would arguable "own" the SSN in question. However, IANAL, so take what I think with a rather large grain of salt. |
