Are hard drive recovery centers safe ?
Q. I recently fried my hard drive. Im thinking about using a data recovery center. The drive i need recovered has alot of unpublished and un-copyrighted material that i have created such as screenplays and manuscripts. Im worried that the company having access to these will steal them during the recovery and with no backup on my part i would have no way to dispute that they were mine in court if i needed to sue cause someone uses it. Are my worries valid ?, any way to deal with this situation.

A. I honestly doubt a group of computer nerds in clean suits are going to care about some scripts on a hard drive, unless they are particularly erotic. They make a lot of money and therefore it probably isn't worth going to jail to steal something off the drive.
