Hi Declan,
A while ago I wrote to with concern that my University, including two others in Australia were being forced to provide record companies with an audit of their students' files.
Now it seems that Sony and EMI aren't happy with `find / -name *.mp3`.
They want to use computer forensic software such as EnCase[1] to conduct a large scale search for copyright material on the University campus.
Last weekend's Australian reported[2]:
Justice Tamberlin preferred the search method proposed by Mr Thackray, which included using specialist forensic software known as EnCase, to the method proposed by the universities, which he said would prove too limited.
Nevertheless, he said the method proposed by Mr Thackray would "reveal a great deal of extraneous information , some of which may be privileged or subject to confidentiality obligations".
"It must be remembered that none of the parties in this application, it seems, are aware as to the full content of the material contained in the very extensive records," he said
So it seems my personal privacy is going to be thrown out the window, all for the sake of scaring a few students who thought it would be fun to run Kazaa, and the record companies who thought it would be worthwile pursuing them...
What do other politechers think about this? Is this worth fighting for?
