Sort of related question – if “a friend” useD a data recovery firm to recover data, how exposed are they to legal repercussions relating to the data that is recovered?
To be clear, this is not a Gary Glitter scenario, nor do I my friend have a disk full of bomb making instructions and flight timetables.
However, if, hypothetically, a friend had a damaged hard drive and, hypothetically, said hard drive was chock full of MP3s and, hypothetically, they might have difficulty in proving that they owned an original, licensed copy (e.g. a CD) of said MP3s, would the data recovery people dob me in? I mean, dob in a hypothetical person in this hypothetical situation?
