It&#x27;s more like seizing the customer records from Cock Postal Service (presumably operated by James May).<p>My guess is that the fact this guy ran the operation from his bedroom, and they weren&#x27;t sure whether he would co-operate or not, was the reason they seized the disk rather than just subpoena him. Presumably if it was hotmail or gmail this wouldn&#x27;t have happened.<p>I think it&#x27;s good that this scumbag cocksucker is going to get his commuppence (I&#x27;m talking about the idiot who sent the email, not the guy who runs the cock email service). He&#x27;s obviously a bit of an idiot to use an email service that says &quot;will report any illegal activity to the relevant authorities&quot; rather than one that is actually properly encrypted (if such a beast even exists at the moment -- they seem to all get DDoSed out of existence by China or similar pretty quickly).
