> This logic gets absurd when you push it to the limits. Judges won’t push the logic to its limits. They’ll look for a reasonable line, and give an annoyed look to people who go off on a technical “well actually VOIP packets are briefly in memory and then deleted, so it’s the same thing”. Judges recognize that arguments that are reasonable and logical in some domains aren’t perfectly generalizable to all cases. They’ll just (if it’s relevant to the case) make a ruling on whether transistory packets count as recording, and create a litigation hold (they’d almost certainly decide it doesn’t) and move on with their lives.
