defrogITEM: Whistleblower site Cryptome posts copies of lawful data-interception guides for Yahoo!, Cox Communications, SBC, Cingular, Nextel, GTE and other telecoms and service providers. Yahoo’s lawyers issue Cryptome a DMCA takedown notice demanding their 17-page document be removed, citing copyright infringement.
No surprises there, but the most interesting bit is Yahoo’s price list for handing over yr data:
I’m wondering if I should be insulted that they’ll sell my data for that cheap. But then it’s not like I’m getting any royalties for it.
DISCLAIMER: Note that this kind of thing presumes that the govt has a court-signed warrant to buy yr data. Although honestly, who really knows for sure anymore?
Make me an offer,
This is dF

Yahoo charges the government about $30 to $40 for the contents, including e-mail, of a subscriber’s account. It charges $40 to $80 for the contents of a Yahoo group.
