Encontrar ninguna expectativa razonable de privacidad en las redes sociales del demandante, Corte obliga a la autorización para revelar el contenido actual e histórica : Electrónica Ley Descubrimiento

Romano v. Steelcase, Inc., 2010 WL 3703242 (Nueva York. Sup. Ct. Siete. 21, 2010)

Defendant sought to discover plaintiff’s “current and historical Facebook and MySpace pages and accounts”, including deleted information, on the belief that information posted there was inconsistent with her injury claims.  The court granted the motion, despite plaintiff’s privacy concerns, upon finding the information was material and relevant and that plaintiff had no reasonable expectation of privacy, and because the defendant’s need for access outweighed plaintiff’s privacy concerns.

Following defendant’s review of the public portions of plaintiff’s MySpace and Facebook pages which contained evidence of plaintiff’s active lifestyle, including travel “during the time period she claim[ed] that her injuries prevent[ed] such activity,” defendant sought to depose plaintiff or otherwise obtain discovery on the issue to no avail.  Defendant then moved to obtain access to her Facebook and MySpace accounts, which plaintiff opposed.

Canadian Cloud Computing Solution Presents Viable Solution for European Commission Cloud Computing Log Jam

The New York Times recently reported that cloud computing is not being adopted as quickly in Europe as in other parts of the world because of European Commission privacy laws that place rigid limits on the movement of information beyond the borders of the 27-country European Union. Industry lobbyists are working to loosen and streamline existing laws on international data transfer to permit the eventual creation of a comprehensive, workable, global privacy framework that is consistent, flexible, transparent and principles-based. Cloud Ventures, a Canadian consultancy incubating Canadian Cloud technology, is forwarding a technology company Esotera that has a technology which solves the data privacy concerns of European countries in a single sweep.

Tom Chalker, president of Esotera Secure Storage Solutions, explains: “We have created a distributed architecture of anonymous encrypted data blocks that changes the game. The issue of physical security within jurisdictional boundaries is replaced with the simpler concept of security by statistical probability. Legalmente, this is similar to regulations in the medical field. Laws exist because statistics prove that diseases can be more effectively controlled through widespread immunization rather than by simply isolating the carriers of disease.

Cloud Ventures is endorsing this solution as part of theirTrusted Cloud’ R&D initiative. The Esotera solution uses the mathematics of cryptology to store blocks of data alongside millions of other indistinguishable blocks to present a modernneedle in the haystackproblem for potential attackers. The data is protected by very large numbers. The attacker must make billions of billions of guesses to compromise any one file.

OpenOffice.org abandona Oracle, nuevas formas fundación y el tenedor | ZDNet

No es de extrañar que los partidarios de toda la vida de OpenOffice.org está tomando el control sobre el proyecto de código abierto de Oracle, su nuevo dueño.

El martes, la comunidad OpenOffice.org ha anunciado la formación de la Fundación de documentos y el re-lanzamiento del código de OpenOffice con un nombre nuevo - LibreOffice.

OpenOffice fue originalmente fundada y patrocinada por Sun. Oracle adquirió Sun y sus activos de OpenOffice principios de este año.

La creación de la Fundación del documento está respaldado por los principales distribuidores de Linux Red Hat, Novell, Google (Androide) y canónicos, así como muchas de las inquietudes internacionales y las naciones, entre ellos Alemania, Italia, Brasil y Francia - de ahí el nombre de LibreOffice.

La decisión se produce apenas unas semanas después de que Oracle anunció que iba a detener el desarrollo de otro proyecto de código abierto que adquirió como parte de Sun - OpenSolaris. (una nueva entidad conocida como Illumos ha asumido el control del proyecto de código abierto).

En el momento, Le pregunté a Oracle si también la intención de descartar el desarrollo de OpenOffice, pero la respuesta oficial fue "sin comentarios".

Michael Meeks, un distinguido ingeniero de Novell, que es muy activa con OpenOffice.org, dijo que estaba adormecido inicialmente en la opinión de que Oracle se convertiría en una fuerza importante en el desarrollo de código abierto tras la compra de Sun, pero dijo que no ha tenido éxito. "

Sus puntos de vista no eran tan diferentes, cuando Sun tenía el control de OpenOffice. Todavía, el nuevo propietario exacerba sus inquietudes. "Asignación de Derechos de Autor desalienta las contribuciones externas, y que el control actual del proyecto inhibe la iniciativa de desarrollador,"Meeks dijo en un reciente comunicado de prensa.

Los accionistas extranjeros cada vez más dijo que se quedara fuera de los EE.UU.. Tribunales – Ley blog – WSJ

Cada vez más, federal courts are rolling up the welcome mat when it comes to securities suits by foreign investors.

That’s the theme of this WSJ article today that looks at the impact of the Supreme Court’s recent ruling in Morrison v. National Australia Bank.  The ruling concluded that Australian investors who purchased shares of an Australian bank should not be able to bring a securities fraud suit in U.S. court.

That holding has been a boon to multinational companies, as courts have interpreted Morrison to bar fraud claims by any investor — either from the U.S. or overseas — who purchased stock on a foreign exchange. Courts have dismissed  claims against Credit Suisse Group, Alston SA, and others in light of Morrison.

The ruling could also save millions of dollars for the likes of BP, which faces securities suits over the Gulf oil spill, and Toyota, which faces securities claims arising from its handling of sudden acceleration claims. Some of the plaintiffs in each case purchased their stock overseas, so they could be out of luck.

Law.com – The Lawyers of the ‘Forbes’ 400

Forbes released its annual list of the 400 wealthiest Americans last week and according to our painstaking analysis, 37 of those who made the cut are law school graduates. While most of them didn’t accumulate their fortunes in the legal trade, Forbes does identify Houston’s Joe Jamail as the nation’s richest practicing attorney.

Below are some of those that gave up billing by the hour in order to make billions. (Feel free to let us know of any omissions in the comments section.)

For sheer quantity of wealthy lawyers per family, the Pritzkers merit special recognition. Though there is friction between some of the heirs to the Hyatt/Marmon Group family fortune, one thing that five of them apparently agree on is that a law degree is something worth having.

Thomas (tied for No. 252 on the list with $16 billion) and Nicholas (tied for No. 385 with $1 billion) earned J.D.s from the University of Chicago, Penny (tied for No. 269 with $1.5 billion) got hers from Stanford, and Jay Robert (tied for No. 290 with $1.4 billion) and Daniel (tied for No. 308 with $1.3 billion) graduated from Northwestern.

The family has donated well to their alma maters. Chicago received $30 millones de dólares en 2002, Stanford another $10 millones este año, and Northwestern has its own Pritzker Legal Research Center. There is also a Pritzker Professor of Law position at Stanford.
