If you're that worried about getting caught, don't do the crime.

back to answer the OP's original question, maybe take a look at dban
now, as for the slime-ridden filth known as RIAA, two thoughts:
1) going after a 12-year-old girl, wow, that must make you guys feel big and tough, eh?
2) um, how many millions of people are doing this? Is this a country where the majority still rules (I'm referring to the U.S. here...and maybe I don't want the truthful answer to that question... I may find out that $$$ rules)? I mean, if enough people think it's ok, shouldn't it be put to a vote, maybe copyright laws could be repealed or something...
Try the OT thread . . . I say the RIAA will not be recognizable as today's giant in 10 years.Originally posted by: ScottMac
I just wish they were a publicly traded company (the RIAA) - I forsee a great deal of income in their future....
Oh well...

Most of all, spend less on lawyers and more on creative thinkers. You can't subpoena success.
No. It is not. The only was to ensure the data is gone is to completely, irrevocably, destry the hardware. Data can be retrieved off of hard drives that have been formatted, serveral times, that have been submerged in water, been burnt in fires, or have been "wiped" by software. As long as there is a physical platter to work with. It just depends on how much time money and effort the retriever is willing to put in. Of course, this has all been mentioned to varying degrees before me. As was also already mentioned, if the RIAA comes a knockin' you are already busted, they don't even need to look at your hard drive or computer. They are just there to say "See you in court. We accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards. Just so you know."*Format the HD and overwriting all data is the only way to ensure the data is gone.
