Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Chooljian's ruling in late spring required TorrentSpy, a widely used indexing Web site that provides users with forums for comment and operates on a peer-to-peer protocol, to turn over customer data only ephemerally kept in its computers' random access memory, or 'RAM.' The ruling could result in floods of similar requests in other civil cases, according to Ira Rothken, the Novato, CA-based, attorney for the TorrentSpy Web site.
This is the first case Rothken says he could find where a court considered transient RAM data to be something discoverable. Any company currently being sued ' even before any liability has been found ' could end up having to collect and turn over RAM data at great cost, Rothken says.
'Lawyers will be flinging around preservation letters, coming up with all kinds of creative ways to tell the other to preserve RAM,' he opines. 'That would cause huge economic implications. If it's not changed, it can create e-discovery chaos.'
