गंदे रहस्य अश्लील छड़ी के लिए कोई मुकाबला नहीं हैं | साल्ट लेक ट्रिब्यून

The regrettably-named Porn Detection Stick could be the greatest enemy of a husband who secretly likes to peek at pictures of naked girls under the glow of his monitor.

Or maybe it could become his greatest friend. I’ll explain that later.

पहले, let’s back up for this explanation: The $99 Porn Detection Stick is a USB flash drive sold by Orem computer forensics company Paraben Corp. Its sophisticated software seeks out pornographic pictures on your computer.

The porn detection stick uses “advanced image-analyzing algorithms that categorize images as potentially harmful by identifying facial features, flesh tone colors, image backgrounds, body part shapes, और अधिक,” according to officials of the company, whose main focus is providing products and services to help users recover lost computer data.

एटी&T to Add New Wi-Fi Hotspots in New York and San Francisco

एटी&T will expand its Wi-Fi coverage for subscribers in New York and introduce its first hotspots in the public areas of San Francisco, the Associated Press reports.

These hotspots, which AT&T calls “hot zones,” are a bit different from the regular Wi-Fi hotspots you see in places such as hotels and Starbucks coffee shops. एटी&T has clustered many access points to blanket a larger, outdoor public area with Wi-Fi coverage.

विशेष रूप से, एटी&T will expand Wi-Fi coverage in the New York Times Square, and add hot spots in the Embarcadero waterfront district in San Francisco.

Is Email Snooping a Crime? – कानून ब्लॉग – WSJ

Michigan resident Leon Walker faces a peculiar predicament: he’s been charged with a felony for secretly checking out his wife’s email account.

Using his wife’s password, Walker accessed her Gmail account and learned she allegedly was having an affair, according to this article in the Detroit Free Press.

State prosecutors in Michigan have charged Walker under a statute used typically to prosecute identity theft or theft of trade secrets, the Free Press Reports. (Hat tip: JonathanTurley.org)

वॉकर, who divorced his wife this month, faces a criminal trial in February and up to 5 जेल में वर्षों.

A few weeks back, we noted that the Sixth Circuit had ruled that people have a reasonable expectation that their emails will remain private and further that the government needs a search warrant to snoop through emails stored by Internet Service Providers.

But criminal charges for surreptitiously checking out a spouse’s emails?

It’s a legal gray area, the Free Press reports, and Walker could be helped by the fact that he was still living with his wife and had routine access to her computer. “It was a family computer,” Walker told the Free Press.

Oakland County, Michigan prosecutor Jessica Cooper told the Free Press that she was justified in charging Walker.  “The guy is a hacker,” she said. The email account “was password protected.”

Alcatel-Lucent Chief Executive Ben Verwaayen speaks during the company’s shareholders meeting in Paris on June 1, 2010. The company settled a foreign bribery investigation Monday with U.S. regulators by agreeing to pay $137 million in penalties and fines.

The company admitted it earned $48.1 million in profits from the improper payments, of which $45 million will be paid to the Securities and Exchange Commission in the form of a disgorgement penalty. Alcatel-Lucent said it will pay $92 million to settle Justice Department charges. It has already set aside the money, according to filings released in mid-February.

“Alcatel and its subsidiaries failed to detect or investigate numerous red flags suggesting their employees were directing sham consultants to provide gifts and payments to foreign government officials to illegally win business,” said Robert Khuzami, director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement, in the statement. “Alcatel’s bribery scheme was the product of a lax corporate control environment at the company.”

एसईसी और इसके नागरिक शिकायत में आरोप लगाया कि अल्काटेल सहायक सलाहकार जो नाजायज काम किया करते थे की तुलना में अधिक कीप $8 million in bribes to government officials to obtain telecommunication contracts and other deals. The Justice Department said in a statement it filed a criminal information against Alcatel-Lucent charging one count of violating the internal controls provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and one count of violating the books and records provision of the FCPA.

FCPA verus रिश्वत अधिनियम बनाम पीसीए – प्रतिक्रिया TV18 -

मुझे लगता है कि इंडिया इंक साफ जगह में व्यापार करना है. No honestly; I can’t recall one reported case of corporate corruption in India this year. Not one. Well actually in November the CBI made several arrests in the bribes for loans case but that’s small stuff. Can you recall the last time any large well-known company in India was prosecuted for corruption? I can’t!

Now get thisthe 2010 list of offenders under USA’s Foreign Corrupt Practices Act includes the BAE, Daimler, Alcatel Lucent, Royal Dutch Shell, Noble Corporation. इस बीच, this year the UK passed its Bribery Act, that is wider in scope and tougher in punishment than even the FCPA. India too has a prevention of corruption act, but it lies unused. Wouldn’t it be ironical if a corrupt Indian company escapes Indian law but gets caught by foreign anti-corruption laws? Payaswini Upadhyay tells you why that’s an imminent possibility.

Watch CNBC-TV18 live only on MYTV >>

In a country where the criminal code is over 150 years old and company and tax laws over 50, the prevention of corruption law enacted in 1988 qualifies as rather young.

The PCA is actually fairly broad and all encompassing. It primarily hits at government officials or public officials who obtain any sort of gratification for anything that they would do which would be rendering some service which is out of turn or getting something done for something which is out of turn or even not doing something that they are supposed to do or delaying a certain approval that they need to get going for somebody. So in that sense, it covers a lot. The focus has obviously been onpublic officialsbut there is also an abettment provision whereby any ordinary person who is not a public official or public servant who abetts in public official doing something that he isn’t supposed to do, then even that person can be liable under the Prevention of Corruption Act.

And yet in the 22 years of its existenceit has rarely ever been applied!

E-डिस्कवरी: क्यों यह अपने कानून सूट को प्रभावित कर सकता | वोन & शेरिडान, LLP

This issue of parties destroying or withholding e-discovery was most notably seen in the case, Victor Stanley, Inc. में. Creative Pipe, Inc. The Court found that the defendant did in fact destroy and withhold requested e-discovery, which resulted in Magistrate Judge Paul Grimm entering a default judgment in favor of the plaintiff. इसके अतिरिक्त, Judge Grimm stated that the defendant’s actions constituted contempt of court and he ordered the defendant to be imprisoned for up to two years unless and until he paid the plaintiff’s attorney fees and costs.

The lessons to be learned from this are:

  1. businesses should prepare ahead of time to make sure all emails and electronic documents are backed up at the business/server level and not rely on individuals to do so on their computers;
  2. businesses should be prepared if they become involved in litigation and work earnestly with their attorneys to follow all the proper e-discovery protocol.

Such collaborative efforts will greatly improve your ability to furnish all the necessary electronic information.

Computerized E-Discovery Document Review is Accurate and Defensible

In order to analyze the reasons that Lehman Brothers failed in September 2008, Jenner & Block mined the company’s electronically stored information (ईएसआई) containing an estimated three petabytes of data—roughly of 350 billion pages of documents—for relevant issues. That’s 150 times more than all the information in the Library of Congress.

The law firm used electronic review technology to pare down the huge collection. फिर भी, the bill for the page-by-page linear (manual) review of the remaining 40 million pages by 70 contract attorneys at rates averaging $50 per hour came to nearly $6 दस लाख, according to Robert Byman, a partner at Jenner. Sifting through all the ESI at the same rates without the initial computer-aided review would have cost a staggering $52.5 अरब.

Linear review remains one of the most time-consuming and costly parts of e-discovery. A project consisting of 500 gigabytes of data reviewed by 40 reviewers making 100 document decisions per hour and working 10 hours per day at a rate of $60 per hour may take two months and cost more than $1 दस लाख, according to LexisNexis Applied Discovery.

Jack Halprin, vice president of e-discovery and compliance at systems provider Autonomy, claims that computer-aided review can save 75 करने के लिए 90 percent over similar review done manually.

फिर भी, many lawyers accustomed to linear review think of it as thegold standard,” convinced an attorney’s eyes will identify relevant documents and sort out privileged material that a computer will miss. But a recent study reveals that the gold standard is a bit tarnished.
