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. ><> ... Jack Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart...
