That\u2019s a question that courts continue to struggle with, even after U.S. tech companies scored a landmark win last year in favor of limiting what authorities can obtain when it comes to foreign-stored data. Prosecutors investigating crimes in their jurisdiction demand access to suspects\u2019 emails and other communications no matter where the data is stored. But companies say complying could put them in conflict with the legal privacy frameworks of other countries. Lately, companies like Google Inc. and Yahoo Inc. have been on the losing side of the battle. More Law.com podcasts In this podcast, we talk to Morgan, Lewis & Bockius partner and former Department of Justice criminal attorney Mark Krotoski to understand the controversy around the scope of the 1986 Stored Communications Act. What he sees is a novel, technical issue colliding with an ill-fitting legal framework. \u201cBecause of that\u2014and because there\u2019s no established precedent\u2014you\u2019re getting different decisions from different judges,\u201d Krotoski says. Ahead of a U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the scope of the law this week, Krotoski says courts are looking to the legislature to help settle the fight\u2014something Google has also called for. \u201cI think most would agree that if Congress weighed in we\u2019d have more clarity as to the limits and guidelines for the collection of data. But until then, we\u2019ve got this old statute that has to be applied in this new, evolving area.\u201d ","author_name":"Unprecedented","author_url":"http:\/\/unprecedented.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
