The court considered copyright infringement and privacy rights resulting in a temporary restraining order. The case was eventually settled out of court.

Larry,

You bring up a very interesting point about personal records.  I know that we are mostly records managers that work with larger entities, but I have watched one too many episodes of "Storage Wars" this summer and am curious to see how this affects the general public.

Does anyone out there know what rights an individual can take to have their personal documents removed from a public auction from a storage facility or even a home going to auction?  And to what extent can the contract with a storage facility protect your rights (or a company's right) to privacy?  Do you have room to negotiate?

Let me know your thoughts.  Thanks -ink
