The corporate argument for non-disclosure—‌and thus adequate #taxation—‌is one of 'proprietary process'—‌

So technical, legal definitions of processes involved with *capture* of data, as opposed to processing for other uses, must be determined: once captured—even with proprietary means—‌the data must then be deemed *non-proprietary*—‌thus out of the reckoning process of follow-on processes' possible proprietary nature.

The taxable sweet-spot that allows for #innovation without #monopolization.
