I think there's some serious doubt that it is intended as anything other than as a penalty for breach rather than a good faith effort to calculate actual damages that flow from the breach. If it is really the former, it is not enforceable. <br /><br />Which is all a way of saying that an agreement to keep something confidential is only as good as the remedy that would be available for its breach. Given that so often the damage that would flow from the breach would be entirely speculative, there often is no remedy.Peter Friedmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12367214098614734119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383512304639632735.post-74122720416466487472010-05-29T10:00:25.180-07:002010-05-29T10:00:25.180-07:00Hey,

Since the spider can't actually prove what string of 1's and 0's was being transferred, nor can the ISP (who can only take note that SOMETHING was being transferred and not exactly what it was), will this sort of evidence stand? It seems like we're placing a lot of trust in the movie firms when there's a pretty large margin for error.Toneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08449414469623300675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383512304639632735.post-46081660249913579152010-05-28T13:42:45.866-07:002010-05-28T13:42:45.866-07:00&#@*&!*%

Seriously, a blank agreement is online with all of the salient terms filled in other than the name, address, credit card number, etc. of an alleged infringer. How the plaintiff could possibly be damaged such that liquidated damages are appropriate elludes me entirely since the only information that would be disclosed is that personal information pertaining solely to the alleged infringer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
