[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 1821567, member: 5151"] Just because something is criminal doesn't mean that its not protected speech. And no, not everything on the net is public domain. They are "business records" of the company storing the data in most domestic jurisdictions. While that does not necessarily require a warrant to collect data, the usefulness of that data is still subject to the policies of the data processor. And for data that is properly encrypted, that warning at the end should only apply if there is sufficient evidence to assert that further evidence will be discovered as a foregone conclusion. I haven't looked at the report, but I would be interested in how many come from the same cases where domains are being seized on mere allegations by a plaintiff without the defendant being notified or present. That said, Google is also alerting gmail/apps users if their accounts are compromised by state-sponsored attacks. [/QUOTE]
