- admissionsguy 6y agoThat will be 30 days in county jail, adios.
- sneak 6y agoSurprisingly, the subpoena does specify the file format, including the compression, rather precisely.
- alpaca128 6y agoNot that surprising considering this overlaps with areas where lawyers may use every trick in the book to cooperate just enough as is necessary. Like when Lavabit was asked to provide an encryption key and they sent the 4096bit key printed out on multiple pages in a tiny font size.
- tgv 6y agoI've read similar, over-precise phrasing in other documents, and there I got the impression that the specification was not based on understanding the tech, but simply copied from some other place where the request wasn't fucked up (as in your lavabit example).
- t0mas88 6y agoAre they allowed to make you do extra work to convert/generate data in the format asked? I know the other way around in (our local non-US variant of) freedom of information act requests you cannot ask any part of government to make/create/convert data for you, only ask for what they have in the format they have it in.
