This bit them in the butt because, as the prosecution pointed out: they do store them, if only temporarily, in RAM.The obvious response is to go out and get a bus analyser, and hook it up, and give them the contents of RAM. Every load. Every store. Sure, it may require handing over several terabytes per day if you have a nice meaty CPU (4 3Ghz Xeons, or similar). Oh. They wanted *only* logging? Well, they should have *asked* for that then. :)
good tactic V, :-) although something tells me giving the RIAA/MPAA the entire contents of your RAM might bite you in the pants down the road (what does THIS email say...) One could also argue that if the MPAA/RIAA wants it, you are eventually going to have to hand it over (after they buy the judge a new condo in florida). Still I think that passing "too much data" to a _lawyer_ would be something I would pay to see. Considering the size of relevant legal material compiled for any case, It would be nice to see you deliver the 2TB of data printed out on paper and hauled in on 23 Tractor Trailers to the courthouse :-) It would _almost_ be worth the small forest you would have to bulldoze to make the paper -JP<who enjoyed the fact that the gmail reply options appropriately turned Valdis' :) into a >:) way too much> _______________________________________________ privacy mailing list privacy () whitestar linuxbox org http://www.whitestar.linuxbox.org/mailman/listinfo/privacy
