Liability the next show stopper

Liability, the next show stopper Marc de Vries PSI Alliance Conference 5 June 2012

Bottom line• Directive, old nor new obliges public sector bodies to allow re-use• Politically, Open Data is a driving force• But, when lawyers come in, they can spoil the party• Evil green monster: liability, liability, liability• Some good counter arguments

3 potential mistakes PSI holds Public sector mistakes bodyRe-user has Open Privacy suffered protection damages up for re-use Intellectual property rights PSI at zero costs Re-user provider Unfair competition

Addressing the risks• Clear procedures• Clear organisational responsibilities• Basic metadata• Disclaimers• Reasonable timing
