It is a specialized data recovery my report to the police for torrents on my external hard drive?
Posted on | April 23, 2010 | 4 Comments
I have movies and music I’ve downloaded to my external hard drive. Stopped working and now I have a data recovery service performed on it. Can I say? You know what? You can see the files on my PC, and I download movies first (ie, as the music on my computer hard drive first, then transfer to the unit XTERNAL);

Yes, they can see files that are currently stored on your machine and can see files that may have been deleted. If the company’s legit, they shouldn’t be going through your files though seeing what you have on , so they won’t see or report you.
If you take your disk to a small, local repair shop, they may get curious and look around your disk, but they still probably won’t report you.

I doubt that very much, though it would depend on the person who actually performed it. Depending on the format of the files on the drive they may not be able to tell the difference.

Every serious data recovery specialist should have a kind of contract or evaluation form to be sign before starting to work on your hard drive in this form it should have a Confidentiality Policy if there is none you can ask him what is the policy.
Data Recovery Specialist are professional and shouldn’t disclose your data (same as a doctor).
Those guy has so much work that they generally don’t have time and interest in looking customer’s data. Plus it won’t be on is interest to “Frame is customer” (What a bad publicity for them).
At the moment police from around the world has not enough effective to track every people who download from torrents if they would like to stop this crime they would only have to look at the internet service provider logs and see witch user are using torrents. From what I know they are more looking for people how add torrents massively and for illegal content (like pedophilia). I pretty sure you call the police and say your neighbors is downloading copyrighted stuff trough torrents they wont even open a file for this…
Don’t worry much about it Data recovery Specialist are there to help you recover important data from your hard drive and not to judge the content itself.
