Told Apple Needs 14 Days to Change 'Untrue' Samsung Correction Notice, UK Judge Expresses Disbelief. International Law Posted Nov 1, 2012 4:53 PM CDT By Martha Neil Ordered by the United Kingdom's High Court of Justice last month to put a post on its website explaining that a competitor didn't copy its iPad design, Apple Inc. tried to comply but published a notice that was "untrue" and "incorrect," according to British judges.
Then, when Apple was ordered by the U.K. Court of Appeal in London to take down the offending notice and replace it within 24 hours with one that informed readers about its inaccurate comments, a lawyer for the computing Goliath said it needed 14 days to get the new notice in place, Bloomberg and the Los Angeles Times' Tech Now blog report. Hard drive recovery tips for disaster-damaged storage. In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, it's no surprise that some people are scrambling to recover data from damaged hard drives.
Chris Bross, Senior Enterprise Recovery Engineer at DriveSavers, said his company has been busy with an uptick in business, working to reclaim the data on everything from home users' single-disk drives to business-level servers. Some of the hard drives have been damaged by water, he said, but even more have been fried by power surges related to the storm. The good news, he said, is that the majority of damaged hard drives can be recovered—albeit for a hefty price. DriveSavers charges an average of $1,000 to $1,500 to save the data from a single, consumer-grade drive, though the company is offering $500 off for severe weather victims. DTI Data, another drive recovery service, also charges $1,000 for consumer drives if the company has to physically open it, said John Best, DTI's director of information technology.

Photo: Bloomberg James Hutchinson E-commerce giant Amazon’s plans to offer data and computer hosting services through Australian data centres from this week will not indemnify customers from legal action in the United States, legal experts have warned. Amazon’s hosting division will today announce plans to offer public cloud services – computers and hard drives that companies can lease for a fraction of the cost of purchasing a similarly capable machine – for the first time within Australian borders. The move has been touted as a “game changer” for high-risk sectors like finance and government, which are traditionally kept from storing critical data outside of Australia.
The introduction of Amazon-hosted services in Australia is thought to have been spurred by those concerns, providing local companies with the ability to store data in local facilities rather than data centres in the US, Singapore or Europe. UK's planned copyright landgrab will spark US litigation 'firestorm' High performance access to file storage Exclusive The UK faces a "firestorm" of international litigation if the government's copyright land-grab goes ahead, American artists and photographers have warned.

Trackback. Vos données personnelles valent 315 milliards d’euros. Confidentiality: High Court rules content in emails should not be considered as property unless it is confidential information, copyrightable or owned under contract. Business cannot be said to have an "enforceable proprietary claim" to the contents of emails held by staff unless the content can be considered to be confidential information belonging to a business; unless copyright subsists in the content that belongs to a business, or unless that business has a contractual right of ownership over the content, Mr Justice Edwards-Stuart ruled.
"I can find no practical basis for holding that there should be property in the content of an email, even if I thought that it was otherwise open to me to do so," the judge said in a recent ruling. "To the extent that people require protection against the misuse of information contained in emails, in my judgment satisfactory protection is provided under English law either by the equitable jurisdiction to which I have referred in relation to confidential information (or by contract, where there is one) or, where applicable, the law of copyright.

Data thieves target debit cards, PINs at point of sale. SEATTLE — Using brash ingenuity, criminals out to steal your personal data are tampering with the checkout machines in department stores, supermarkets, gas stations and even your doctors' office. Their prime target: your debit card account number and personal identification number. Thieves use ruses, such as posing as repairmen to alter and corrupt payment terminals — installing skimmers and storage devices that capture account numbers from the magnetic strip on a card as well as the PIN numbers the customer keys in. STORY: Why you should use your debit card sparingly "Technology is making it easier for criminals to develop smaller, more effective skimming devices," says Dale Dabbs, CEO of identity theft protection service EZShield.
The compromised checkout machines are so widely dispersed that many crimes go unnoticed and public reports are sporadic, says Jeff Hall, director of Technology Risk Management Services at consultancy McGladrey.

Bradford Currier and Marty Stern Revised exemptions have been issued by the Copyright Office of the Library of Congress, allowing consumers to create video “mash-ups” for certain non-commercial purposes and use unauthorized software to “jailbreak” their smartphones, while prohibiting consumers from “unlocking” wireless phones purchased after 2012 in order to change carriers.
The revised exemptions were adopted under provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which authorize the issuance of exemptions every three years to the DMCA’s prohibition on the circumvention of technological measures that are employed by copyright owners to protect their works.
