  Re: Re: wait, is it a copy or ?

  on MPAA Argues That Sony Emails Shouldn't Be Used As Evidence In Google Lawsuit
  Nope, that's not how privilege works. Copies are covered.

  Wrong people

  on Just As FBI Looks To Undermine Encryption, Federal Government Searches For Better Encryption
  Not to be pedantic or anything, but the tweet's completely inaccurate. Members of Congress have said all sorts of things, but that's not the same thing as Congress itself doing things. Also, it was the Executive Branch that was testifying at the hearing yesterday.
  
  Really, really sloppy thinking.

  Wrong stage

  on Governor Tells High School Students He'd Like To Shoot A Student's Dad; Arrest/Investigation Fail To Ensue

  The comments are being treated as serious threats by the US government, seeing as they were posted below an article about a federal judge.

  
  You might be confusing the "investigative stage" with the "charging stage" of criminal prosecutions. How do you know if a possible threat is a true threat unless you investigate?

  I'm a lawyer, but I'm not your lawyer. AC is right -- waiver of the privilege doesn't happen just because something is leaked. It has to be an intentional disclosure or really, really negligent. A massive hack by pro attackers isn't negligent.
