hard drives?

thank you mike and i figured since its not like im trying to get personal info off them that its not illegal since i get them from the dump so its just like if i was to find a cd there i could legally download it to my computer i feel its the same thing as finding the cd

I would say there is nothing wrong with copying music from them if thats what floats your boat

This could really be a major lawsuit for your scrap yard by you putting this out on the internet. I would delete this comment.

I very rarely run across personal information(credit card numbers etc) and by the dates,most of these puters have been sitting for years so there is nothing current on them.I enjoy going on family vacations with other people (through their pics) and I get to see the world through someone elses eyes.
On occasion,I get to go with my crane truck to Turtle Island garbage transfer in Toronto. They have a small office there where and RCMP officer goes through all the hard drives looking for ?
If the cops can do it ,so can I
