Can PI Ever Be Considered IP?
Posted on February 8th, 2010 View CommentsI have my own thoughts on whether or not personal information can be defined as intellectual property but I’d really love to hear some more opinions before espousing my own.
Please do comment especially if you have strong opine that falls one side of the fence or another.

On the question of PI considered as Copyright, the criteria is :
1st- requirement of a recording or fixation of the information;
2nd- Originality which means it must 'originates' from the author as it most be the expression of its original or inventive thought;
3rd- AND most importantly in the case of PI, it must be certain that a certain amount of labour, skill or effort must have been expended in the creation of the work recording the personal information.
We are not talking here about derivative or compilation work non applicable here.
If these criteria were found, the support of the personal information could be protected under copyright law but I wouldn't think in itself a PI could be protected under copyright law.
