"We have a habit of divine discontent with our performance. It is an antidote to smugness."
— David Ogilvy
Last month, a judge denied a motion by Harris to quash the subpoena, saying he lacked legal standing. The judge said the data stored on the Internet is not physical property and therefore does not have the same protection, “As a user, we may think that (Internet) storage space to be like a ‘virtual home,’ and with that strong privacy protection similar to our physical homes,” Judge Matthew Sciarrino said in his April 20 ruling. “However, that ‘home’ is a block of ones and zeroes stored somewhere on someone’s computer. As a consequence, some of our most private information is sent to third parties and held far away on remote network servers.”
