Tom,
B) is the crux of the problem, and it is an extremely hard problem
In limited contexts it is tractable — I consulted with a company in India that made patients information their own and not the property of drug and insurance companies. Patients could share information with care providers, but kept control. issues of physical storage and loss of that physical storage were quite real.
The real difficulty is in any sharing mechanism. An example: currently users give their information to Facebook and Facebook stores and uses it as they will. Suppose all that information was stored on your local device in some fashion and you sold it to Facebook for a specific purpose and for a limited time. How does Facebook actually get access to the data?ow do you prevent them from copying and keeping the data they have accessed. More insidious; suppose you do not actually give them data, only some sort of summary or digest? What can they infer from that. Suppose Facebook sent you a question: "does your profile include A, B, and C." Your reply is a simple yes or no. But Facebook can infer, if yes, exactly what the data was and they have it in their possession.
All kinds of nuances and variations of these kind of problems would have to be resolved. It that were possible, the exchange would be trivial.

gets me wondering....
A) If we see an individual's data as a fungible resource...
B) If each individual or minor's guardian had total control over all aspects and permissions for usage of that data....
C) Would it be possible to create something like the Chicago Commodities Exchange where an individual or collaboration of individuals could sell or trade aspects of their data for specific purposes, time frames, languages or geographies?
D) if so, could Santa Fe or NM be the physical home (powered by solar energy) of such an exchange?
