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.
