Correctamundo.

But the really stupid part about cops and internet crime is that it takes only a short while to make an exact copy of someone's hard-drive. The ONLY reason that cops tend to keep your box is because it looks better in court. Beleive me, I asked about this and that was the best answer they could give me. Maybe one day a wise old judge will say "why did the prosecution have to keep the entire computer? An exact copy of it on CD's would suffice, are you all stupid or what?"

Alas, a judge will never say that though, they already know the answer to the question.
