The Wall Street Journal reports today that the designer of the Bratz doll line of children's toys used Evidence Eliminator to "rename" (scramble is term used by the WSJ reporter) files on a hard drive set to be copied for production to Mattel's counsel. It will be interesting to see whether, and how, a spoliation motion is argued.

And the occasional on or off-topic rant. Cautionary Note: Nothing contained in this blog is intended to be, should be construed as, or considered to be, legal advice.
