Search
and Seizure of Computer Data
Twenty years
ago, computers were in the province of big
businesses only. Computer data was a big mystery, coded in many
different computer languages by proprietary
software, uniquely tailored to the operations of a particular business
or a
single purpose, like billing, inventory, shipping, etc.
It was not easily readable.
Storage media was cumbersome and expensive
(remember those huge hard disk platters and reel-to-reel tape drives?)
and thus
data was not stored indefinitely, and when it was, the media often had
to be
manually retrieved and mounted. So,
even though computer data always contained much valuable information
about a
business, it was so time consuming and costly to extract that it was of
little
use or interest to anyone outside the business, including law
enforcement.
