International Law May Confound Benefits

By Greg Freemyer and Hope Haslam

Cloud computing, the process of storing and processing data on remote, outsourced third-party-owned servers, is growing in popularity, largely because it provides users with access to state-of-the-art and constantly updated software and fast infrastructure — without the overwhelming costs. As technology advances at exponential speeds, companies must find ways to remain competitive. Buying the latest and greatest, only to find it obsolete before it is paid for, is a progressively unsustainable option.

For international companies, gayunman, there are tremendous legal hurdles to accomplishing an effective conversion. Two of the most troubling are:

  1. Amerika. preservation requirements; at
  2. International privacy laws.

As companies begin to set up, or more likely expand, a cloud computing system, they must understand the legal issues that need to be addressed in order to avoid subjecting the company to sanctions, fines, penalties and enormous e-discovery costs when litigation arises.

Hal-Employee Sabi ni Seagate kinuha Teknolohiya, Nawasak katibayan

A decade-long lawsuit pitting a tiny company called Convolve against Seagate Technology has taken an unexpected turn after a whistle-blower claimed that Seagate had appropriated Convolve technology and later destroyed evidence in the case.

The whistle-blower, a former Seagate employee named Paul A. Galloway, has provided what is described as “an eyewitness account” accusing Seagate of taking hard-drive technology from Convolve and incorporating it into its own products, according to documents filed recently with a federal court in Manhattan.

The court filings include claims by Mr. Galloway that Seagate, the world’s largest producer of computer hard drives, tampered with evidence tied to Convolve’s nearly 10-year-old patent infringement case against the company.

The allegations are detailed in an affidavit filed by one of Convolve’s lawyers as part of an effort to reopen the voluminous court record to include testimony from Mr. Galloway.

Wala tunghan ng pederal at Estado na mga regulasyon ng Data – BusinessWeek

Tracking new regulations and compliance rulings from federal and state government can be dizzying—they include FRCP, HIPAA, GLB, at higit pa. But now more than ever, the government expects all businesses to comply, not just large corporations.

Ngayon, every company is responsible for its data and for securing its customers’ information, no matter how much it costs to do so. In today’s litigious business world, the possibility of being dragged into a lawsuit is very real, and if that happens, you will likely need to make your information available to the process. And woe to the company that cannot comply with basic regulations, because a judge will not accept that you thought those requirements applied only to the big companies.

A good example is a recent investigation involving Freddie Mac. A small agency working with Freddie Mac was pulled into the investigation, and the agency had to complete a request by the government for an electronic discovery search. The agency assumed the cost would be minor, but it did not have an automated approach to managing its data in place. The inaccessibility of the data required an army of attorneys and staff to perform a hands-on physical review. The cost came to $6 milyon. When the agency sought relief, it was turned down by an appeals court. It should have known better.

Code Iyon pinoprotektahan Karamihan sa mga Cellphone tawag Ay Divulged – NYTimes.com

A German computer engineer said Monday that he had deciphered and published the secret code used to encrypt most of the worlds digital mobile phone calls, in what he called an attempt to expose weaknesses in the security of the world’s wireless systems.

The action by the encryption expert Karsten Nohl aimed to question the effectiveness of the 21-year-old GSM algorithm, a code developed in 1988 and still used to protect the privacy of 80 percent of the worlds mobile calls.

“This shows that existing GSM security is inadequate,"Mr. Nohl, 28, told about 600 people attending the Chaos Communication Congress, a four-day computer hacker’s conference that runs through Wednesday here. “We are trying to push operators to adopt better security measures for mobile phone calls.”
