Get-out Clause?

I can't help thinking that an experienced lawyer would make an effective case for having such material dismissed as potentially tainted evidence.

If they had to modify your computer remotely to obtain access, then there absolutely no way anyone could subsequently tell the source of any material then found on the machine.

Hmmm. Expect an upturn in the sales of W.O.R.M. drives.
