Yes. Case "[0]" is what I was thinking of. I realize there are reasonable responses to such things in the US and should be reasonable responses to such in most other countries, if a search warrant is issued before search and/or seizure. But I have precisely NO experience with being served with a search warrant, in the US or anywhere else. So I don't know if a notice that "Dear $userbase, Please be advised that our mail/database/vhost data stores have been seized pursuant to a search warrant" is normally permitted, or if the details of the search warrant are permitted to be disclosed, etc. So to my mind, there could be an ethical obligation to disclose the warrant, with a legal obligation not to disclose... _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
