I realize that the lawyers on the list aren't my lawyers. And police officers aren't attorneys. But I have a practical question which maybe some of you have come up against. What do you do when Bad Things(tm) get put on your computer by someone else - warez, vile illegal images, someone else's trade secrets, the sort of stuff that you can get in trouble just for having? Do you erase it and get on with your life, call the authorities and let them deal with it or something else? The question came up when I looked at an old webserver and found that it was full of MP3s. Someone else had come in and put them in an unused corner of the disk. At least I'm pretty sure it was someone else. Nobody in our company has that poor taste in music. But suppose it had been something much worse. The best advice, of course, is "Ask a lawyer". And I will certainly get around to that but would like to take advantage of the specialized experience of this group first. Thanks in advance, Todd
