And the publisher then said.......... Or was it like the sound of one hand clapping? In the words of Tiny Blur: "Education, Education Education, And I really mean that!" (Ok, I may have misquoted, but what the heck!) It's time for some ACTION. I am sick of education. This is a set of laws that are not being enforced. Lack of enforcement leads to total abuse. I am a member of a newsgroup "NANAE" and see the way the UKIC is despised internationally there. Mind you, they do despise everyone else, too! BUT they say, rightly, that the IC is not wholly effective! -----Original Message----- From: This list is for those interested in Data Protection issues [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Graham Hadfield Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2004 8:55 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [data-protection] SAR In an earlier message on this subject I mentioned an approach to the IC regarding abuse of data by a magazine publisher. The IC has taken flack on the list recently over not responding in a timely manner. Well, credit where it's due. My original letter was received by the IC on 11th December and they posted a substantive reply to me on 16th January. Not quite within the 28 calendar days but we have had Christmas in between. The IC has also written to the publisher pointing out that their actions contravened the first principle.
