This primer could be accessible to preschoolers. I can't help thinking there might be many more issues more impressively considered in more detail. I know, the problem is me, a picky reader wanting too much.

Key takeouts:
- The Vs: Variety, Velocity, Validation.
- Bridging the Gap.
- Deidentification.
- Signalling the risks.
- The CAR and the Clawback.
- The fire and forget.

Great starter if you want to know more about different legal aspects of big data. Through court cases, examples from business and implications for external legal counsel, this book will highly contribute to your understanding of the most pressing issues in this field.

An interesting legal reference regarding big data. You shouldn't read in one sit but keep close as a reference guide for short questions about privacy, licensing and liability.

A good overview of the various legal considerations of big data across legal realms. A good reference and starting point for research in the covered topics.
