New Rules Proposed on Electronic Evidence

Posted by Zonk on Wednesday February 16, 2005 @02:57AM from the your-money-or-your-files dept.

davidtspf writes "The committee that makes the rules of procedure for U.S. federal courts is now considering new rules governing electronic evidence, how much litigants need to produce at trial, and under what circumstances. Civil rights attorneys are arguing that the rules will make it harder to find smoking guns, while a number of corporations, including Microsoft have submitted comments arguing for further limits. LawMeme has an article with more background, comparing the process to debates over IP law that occur in a vacuum of empirical data, and encouraging techies to submit requests to extend the public comment period, which ended today."

Capitalism is fueled by Greed. Socialism is fueled by Envy. Which is your sin?

What about gluttony or lust?
