Flutterby™! : 9th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Alex Kozinsky on privacy

Reason Magazine: Judge Alex Kozinski on Third-Party Privacy: "Kiss It Goodbye". Some really good notes on what "expectation of privacy" has meant, the history of the Supreme Court's decisions on phone taps, and more:

Kozinski: Until further notice, I would not consider anything you put on the cloud private. Is that clear? I'm not saying it's not going to be, but it's a highly undecided question. Essentially, if it's a new computer on your desk where the police actually have to go in and get the physical thing, it's protected. It's not protected from everything—obviously there's probable cause, a warrant; they can get it. But it's protected from unauthorized intrusion.
