Judge Says RIAA Can't Have Hard Drive

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the quite-a-large-beast-to-be-jumping-through-hoops dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "A Texas judge has refused to allow the RIAA untrammelled access to the defendant's hard drive in SONY v. Arellanes. The court ruled that only a mutually agreeable, neutral computer forensics expert may examine the hard drive, at the RIAA's expense, and that the parties must agree on mutually acceptable provisions for confidentiality."
