    With great respect Greg, there is a field called privacy
    scholarship, and in that field folks absolutely do pay a great deal
    of attention to the rulings of the EU Court of Justice, and the
    opinions of the Article 29 working group.  You are free to make the
    argument that thought leadership rests in the United States or
    anywhere else (Cate, Westin, etc) but there are a great many US
    privacy scholars who look to the EU for thought leadership
    (Reidenberg, Schwartz, Solove, Rotenberg, Nissenbaum, Gellman, I
    could go on but that might be tedious).  So I think it is not really
    fair to rule out recent contributions if they are important, and the
    material Ayden is introducing certainly qualifies as important in my
    book.<br>
    The fact is that there has been a struggle going on for the last 25
    years between the US and Europe over the regulatory vs
    non-regulatory approach to privacy.  Lets explicitly put that on the
    table and recognize our differences on this matter.  <br>
