Digital Entertainment Australian IT, Politechbot, Law Meme: Record companies Sony, EMI and Universal have gotten court approval to conduct a search of data held by the Universities of Tasmania, Sydney and Melbourne as part of the discovery process in an action against alleged student music pirates. Computer forensic expert John Thackray had testified that the search method proposed by the universities (searching by file type, where the record companies believed that a search of file headers was necessary to find any material that infringed copyright) was "very limited" and could potentially overlook pertinent files. Evidense gathered by EnCase will be provided to both sides.
