クラウド・コンピューティングの発展は目を見張るものがありますね。私はもうグーグルのない環境は考えられません。米国では企業レベルで積極的にクラウド・コンピューティングを利用しているようですが、ここで気になるのがe-ディスカバリーにおけるクラウド・コンピューティングの位置づけです。(LINK)
A recent opinion, Flagg v. Detroit, 252 F.R.D. 346 (E.D. Mich. 2008), considered whether a plaintiff is entitled to discover a defendant’s text messages stored by a non-party cellular service provider. Using the contractual relationship between the party and the service provider as the starting point for its analysis of discovery obligations, the Flagg court held that these text messages were under the defendant’s control. Accordingly, the plaintiff could request these messages directly from the defendants, without the need to serve a third-party subpoena on the service provider. In summary, the court noted that the obligation to produce ESI cannot be avoided "through the simple expedient of storing it with a third party."
