There's an interesting book out by Anne Wells Branscomb,
"Who owns information? From privacy to public access,"
Basic Books, 1994. She starts with such simple questions

        - Who owns your name ?

        - Who owns your address ?

and goes, if I remember rightly, to

        - Who owns your drivers license ?

        etc.

The answers are the obvious ones - nor are they simple
ones. No one would buy the book if they were.

Definitely worth reading.
