The costs of preserving, searching and reviewing information in litigation can be staggering. What costs a dollar to store on a hard drive can easily cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to search and review for a lawsuit. Ignoring or destroying salient information prior to or during a lawsuit can lead to losing a case regardless of the merits of the actual claim and spending a small fortune litigating the issue of whether you have met your [...]

Facebook’s mission is to “make the world more open and connected,” it says right at the top of the S-1 document filed late yesterday with the SEC. People use the site “to stay connected with their friends and family, to discover what is going on in the world around them, and to share and express what matters to them to the people they care about,” while developers use it to make apps, and advertisers use it to gain [...]

If Google’s going to keep tying all their services together, you may as well know how that will work, and how you can benefit from it.
In just over a month, Google will change its privacy policies for all its products. Actually, Google is combining 70 different policies into a single set of rules, defining how the company treats all the personal information you provide. It’s more of a refinement than a brash new move, but it has opened [...]

The FBI just announced plans to ramp up their social media monitoring, data mining, and analysis. The surprising thing is that they haven’t done so already.
The FBI wants to step up their monitoring of social media. Earlier this month the Bureau posted a Request for Information (RFI) from potential vendors for a powerful, custom-designed social media monitoring app. However, the most worrying thing isn’t that the FBI wants to scrape social media data from terrorists’ Twitter feeds, it’s [...]

It has become commonplace for parties engaged in electronic discovery to discuss and agree upon “keyword” searches in an effort to limit the overall scope of discovery. A recent decision in the District of New Jersey, I-Med Pharma, Inc. v. Biomatrix, Civ. No. 03-3677 (DRD), 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 141614 (D.N.J. 2011), demonstrates the pitfalls that arise when the parties too eagerly agree to conduct a search for electronically stored information using an overly broad set of keywords.

I hear a lot about how different software will find all relevant documents. That would be 100% recall. I also hear demands from requesting parties to find and produce all relevant documents. In the context of large disorganized banks of electronic data, such as email collections, these claims and demands are not only contra to [...]

Since SOPA and PIPA are US bills, the focus has naturally been on the US response to them – notably in the list of major sites that participated in the blackout, or who have otherwise protested against the proposed legislation. But it’s important to remember that the whole rationale of these new laws is tackling copyright infringement outside the US.
A letter to the US Congress, written by a group of European Parliamentarians worried about the “extraterritorial [...]

Expect 2012 to be a great year filled with calamity and surrounded by opportunity. The calamity may arrive in political, mystical, technological and economic forms. Calamity creates opportunity which brings people, vision, ideas and investment together. When thinking about a future history of 2012, four (4) calamities come to mind:
Big data cleansing
Social mashups of content
Mobile first cloud applications
TV antennas
Opportunity #1
Big data cleansing using predictive coding
Predictive coding combines technology with people. People group content with categories. Technology evaluates the [...]

We have all seen the steady blurring of the lines between work and nonwork over the past couple of decades. In far too many cases, corporate policy hasnt kept up with whats actually happening. Infrastructure isnt free, and allowing employees to use it for nonbusiness purposes has an opportunity cost, if not an actual expense. Here’s a look at the emerging issues CIOs will have to contend with in 2012.We have all seen the steady blurring of the [...]
