An interesting article.  It appears tat the courts are siding with the
USGov that if you put anything on a third party server, it becomes 'public
information' at least to the extent that they can search it without
warrants at any time.  So there goes shared directories, private data, file
services like Amazon A3, Dropbox, Crashplan and other backup services.

This has never been a bad assumption to assume privacy, if one is concerned
with privacy on the net, this just defines the boundaries.

Basically I just see this starting a new round of lawsuits.
