Steven Davis (Center on Values and Ethics) has posted Privacy, Rights, and Moral Value (University of Ottawa Law & Technology Journal, Vol. 3, No. 1, 2006) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
First, I set out the nature of rights and distinguish legal and moral rights. Second, I show in what sense privacy is a legal right in Canada and argue that it does not follow from this that it is a moral right. Third, I discuss various attempts to specify the nature of privacy and raise counter examples to these analyses. Fourth, I set out what I take to be an analysis of privacy and show how it relates to a loss of and an intrusion into one’s privacy. Fifth, I distinguish a loss of privacy from a loss of solitude. Finally, I discuss whether there is a moral right to privacy and distinguish it from privacy.
