Try this, Doug:

Cheat Sheet: Data Protection Act 1998 - Software - Breaking Business and Technology News at silicon.com

Quote:
The Act means so-called "data controllers" have to register with the information commissioner. It also means they have to obtain consent from individuals to process their personal data and to ensure it is processed fairly. People have to 'signify' their consent positively, which means failure to reply to a message does not mean that consent has been given.
Consent must also be 'specific' and 'informed'. This means it has to be relevant to all the uses registered, including the type of information held, the purposes of the processing, the type of people who may be given access to it and the length of time that it might be on file.
So: Did MEP candidates give specific, informed consent for their interviews to end up on YouTube titled How not to do it?
