E-discovery is the requirement to make available all digital information related to, and in conjunction with, a legal proceeding. An appeals court ruled recently to limit the scope of e-discovery searches, which gives corporate counsel and IT executives a bit more power over the e-discovery process.

Thanks for a great summary, John! It's heartening to hear that some courts are setting limits on e-discovery. Which goes to show that unless we take a stand, there will be no limits set on what various public and private sector agencies can ferret out of our Web information trails.

Is there such a thing as complete anonymity on the Internet? It is something of a philosophical question, but the consensus among experts seems to be 'No.' However, there are degrees of anonymity, which might be more practical for most people – and more necessary than ever before.
