That is what I respect Mark Brown for, he believes in something and fights
for it and we all benefit from it later. The world needs more people like
that! 

Thank you.

Betreff: Re[2]: Data ... who is the owner?

Hello Bob,

i belive that you do own your data - the supreme court made a ruling
of such in favor of smith barney.  i was working for sb at the time
and the article appeared in either s&c or futures magazine. i have the
issue around here somewhere.

latter fyi dbc - esignal sued myself and some others and the judge
dismissed the case. it cost me allot of money to defend myself and my
company against dbc and a year or two of grief.

the court logic was that to own something and claim rights to it you
must change the information. you can not change the information of the
markets "the data" therefore data once published can not be claimed as
a particular companies product. it is not a product. it is no more
than common text.
