08/24/2006 Entry: "Don't wipe your hard drive or the RIAA will git you"

Helpful hints for the way we live now: Don't wipe your hard drive or the judge in San Antone will find you guilty of being in possession of something you no longer have:

"In Arista v. Tschirhart, in San Antonio, Texas, the judge awarded judgment to the RIAA because the defendant -- in violation of a court order directing her to produce her computer's hard drive for inspection -- had the hard drive 'wiped' first, thus deleting song files that had been downloaded. The court noted that this "wiping" irreparably prejudiced the RIAA because the only evidence it had without the hard drive was 'scant and piecemeal.'"
Where Defendant Wiped Hard Drive in Violation of Court Order, Default Judgment Awarded RIAA in San Antonio, Texas, Recording Industry vs. The People, August 24, 2006

Um... The RIAA isn't just out for blood, they're getting it.

I wonder if this would work for other *crimes*?

"Judge, the defendent had a bag full of stolen diamonds, but they have since disappeared."
