    Working in a scrapyard,I get all the hard drives I want. I bought a USB hard drive reader (about 25 bucks) plug the drives in and root around. This is a source of nightly entertainment since they mostly have pics of other peoples vacations,partys etc. Only once have I found anything off color and by the dates,someone got a digi cam for christmas and took artsy photos of the wife or girlfriend. I would say there is nothing wrong with copying music from them if thats what floats your boat.

    EDIT - Permanent ban because of this post. See post 29 here.

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

    @Jeremiah: you should also delete your quote of hmburner's comment. Lol
    Money is not the root of all evil, the love of money is.

    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

    Permanent ban for you. What a disgrace this is to yourself, your scrap yard, and to all of the recyclers here who try to create a positive image and representation of the scrap industry. You think it's OK and ethical to snoop through people's sensitive personal information and data? smh
