That is so funny.
Sovereignty – legal definition – the supreme authority in an independent political society.
I know it’s Friday but seriously, these people sound a bit loopy. They can try and pass a by-law, but I don’t think it would work. There are all sorts of issues there relating to copyright, ownership of the information and confidentiality. The easiest way of protecting information is to put “Confidential – Not for Circulation or Distribution” on it. However, you have to be careful how you do that because if you put it on any old thing, it can erode the protection of truly sensitive documents.
But really, haven’t they got anything better to do????
