tptacek thanks for being the voice of reason in these infosec law threads.
- tptacek 13y agoIs it even a warrant? A warrant authorizes law enforcement to search a person/place/thing for evidence. A discovery order is a demand for a specific piece of evidence. Nobody is "searching"; the court knows exactly what it wants --- the whole hard drive image. Remember in the Netscape vs. Microsoft case, when the contents of Jamie Zawinsky's "Really Bad Ideas" mailing list were released? That was because of a discovery order demanding Netscape's email spools. It's for exactly this reason that large companies have specific policies about document retention.
