AMD Subpoenas to Stop Document Destruction

Posted by samzenpus on from the all-sue dept.

cyberfunk2 writes "It appears that a court has granted AMD a "no-shred" request with respect to documents related to its' charges of Intel anticompetitive behavior. 9 of the 32 companies subpoenaed so far have said they will adhere to the order. The 9 are Acer, Gateway, Lenovo, NEC, Rackable Systems, Sony, Sun, Tech Data and Circuit City. Others have promised to respond soon."

      You can skateboard. Just not well. You are also allowed to play guitar. Just no screaming metal riffs.

    My wife would be awesome at a document preservation job- she still has birthday cards from her grandmother from 20 years ago, and the movie stub from our first date.
    Maybe these companies could hire armies of "scrapbookers." Imagine all the emails and docs saved artisticly, with cute frills and interesting stamps. Your Honor, the document in question, is the one with the unicorn sticker on it...
    I know Banks have very strict retention requirements, but seriously, who is going to pay for all this storage capacity...
    And is it just a prohibition on shredding? Does that mean they can burn the docs?

    We told them to "Ship the Enron documents to the Feds", but what they heard was "Rip the Enron documents to shreds".

    It was all just a case of bad cellular.
