Is that even possible?
- css 8y agoYeah, this doesn't make much sense. Seems like something the police/other authorities would do and the article is just poorly written. Are private companies allowed to petition to search their customers' homes in Australia? Is the private company that ransacks your home allowed to invoice you for their time? Edit: turns out they are allowed to do so. From the original source (page 5) [0]: > Applicants means Take-Two Interactive Software Inc and Rockstar Games Inc From Vice [1]: > Two lawyers from the Bird & Bird law firm representing Rockstar and Take-Two were part of the "search party" that was allowed to look through their computers, along with independent lawyers and an independent "computer expert."
