Because it's not your data. Just because something describes you, doesn't make it yours.

  "Yours" and "not yours" is a really primitive way to look at the problem. Every camera that you have passed in front of has your image, and we more or less accept that if it's in a public place that's OK. But that doesn't mean someone can take that image and put it in a national television campaign for their product. There are shades of ownership.

    I agree, ownership is a poor way to look at it. In fact, there is a rich body of property and tort law that address this whole subject in vast detail and has identified a large set of principles and criteria that can and is applied.
