[QUOTE="Tel, post: 132405"] Defiantly does, that site states that "Invasion of privacy charges often arise from searches of people, their personal belongings and their work space; electronic monitoring (phone calls, computer activities and files)," so providing that this is the law of your country and state then you'll be fine. [i]Unless[/i] of course, the Apple terms and conditions state that they will have access to everything on your hard drive when you send it into them, this is very, very doubtful (and I really can't be bothered to read their terms and conditions) A reputable like Apple wouldn't use something like that, but if they did then technically they could bypass this law. Also, unless you had any illegal Apple software they probably couldn't do anything anyway. I believe that only the company who's copyright you are breaching can actually file a suit and press charges against you. So lets say you had an illegal copy of photoshop, only Adobe would be able to actually file a suit against you. Lets say Apple [i]did[/i] discover an illegal copy of photoshop, and they [i]did[/i] tell Adobe about this then they would then be breaching the law by providing your personal information to a third party (unless of course they had this in their terms and conditions too which is a stupid idea but I can't say for sure because I haven't read all of their terms and conditions) Remember though, the law varies a lot depending on where you live so don't take my advice as fact, if you're still worried, just back them all up.
