PJ,
At the time of the SCO trial I asked at if these records were kept
so we could know how much of an impact Groklaw had on the world at large, and
you said you didn't look at it because it might be too intimidating and knock
you off your stride, but I took you to say that records would be kept for
posterity though I may have misunderstood.
The trial being long past and
having now (mostly) hung up your Groklaw hat, would it be possible to ask: if
those numbers were kept, what they were? Is it still too much?
I've been
following along this whole time as you know, and I feel it's an important part
of the history. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

BBC Note that
there was only one fine in the private sector, the remainder were government
departments! The private sector company singled out was ACS: Law. Its
data controller was fined £1,000 after failing to prevent a hack attack which
resulted in sensitive details about 6,000 people being published on a
third-party website. Regulars will remember reading all about
ACS:Law, a particularly nasty legal business which was trying to perpetrate
RIAA-style frauds (i.e. largely bogus illegal file-sharing allegations) against
innocent people in the UK. The solicitor concerned, Andrew Crossley, was barred
from practising law for 2 years and made to pay costs of £76.326.55 by the
Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal, so now he has a further £1000 on top of that
for Data Protection Act violations. "Were it not for the fact that ACS:Law has
ceased trading so that Mr Crossley now has limited means, a monetary penalty of
£200,000 would have been imposed, given the severity of the breach."He got
what he deserved! RIAA/MPAA/BSA please note, and don't bother us in the UK, or
else..... Wikipedia [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
