Hence why I phrased it as a question in the first place to see if anyone had heard the same as what I had. I have not declared that the problem does exist, just relayed what I have been told. I apologise if I've panicked anyone.
Interestingly, in genuine cases of libel that's not a valid defence!
In the US
Truth is generally a complete bar to recovery by any plaintiff who sues for libel. Making sure that any potentially libelous material can be proven true can avoid needless litigation.
Fair report. Libelous statements made by others in certain settings often are conditionally privileged if the reporter, in good faith, accurately reports information of public interest. This privilege usually applies to official meetings such as judicial proceedings, legislative hearings and grand jury deliberations.
Neutral report. Although less broadly recognized, this privilege can protect the publication of defamatory statements made by one public figure about another public figure. The report must be presented in a neutral manner.
Opinion is still protected speech under the First Amendment, although the Supreme Court limited the formerly broad reach of opinion protection in Milkovich v. Lorain Journal.12 The court ruled that there is no separate opinion privilege, but because factual truth is a defense to a libel claim, an opinion with no "provably false factual connotation" is still protected.
As a result of this decision, courts will examine statements of opinion to see if they are based on or presume underlying facts. If these facts are false or defamatory, the "opinion" statements will not be protected.
Also
Although a retraction is not usually considered an absolute defense to a libel claim, it may reduce the damages a defendant must pay if found liable for defamation. Before agreeing to publish a retraction, consult an attorney.
And this little bit of reading might prove interesting
These days, everybody and his dog has a blog. Unfortunately, almost nobody has a clue about their responsibility under defamation law. And if the dog has a clue, he ain't talkin'.
To Continue
First, people usually ask the wrong question "Can a blogger be sued for defamation?" The sad truth is that almost anybody can sue you for almost anything these days. So, don't ask that question; it's dumb. What you want to know is your responsibility under the law, and therefore, how best to protect yourself from successful litigation.
To prove libel, which is the same thing as written defamation, the plaintiff has to prove that the blogger published a false statement of fact about the plaintiff that harmed the plaintiff's reputation.
1) I'm sure all the manufatures of those program would like to hear the specifics
2) A LOT of these issues is the code page support. If you working on a chinese case on one machine that has east asian support and another one that does not, you'll get different results.
I'm in the process of checking the validity of the claim that the same image on different computers will produce different results, given the same FTK options. I should have results in the next few days (depending of course on processing and indexing speeds). If there are specific places I should look to identify anomalies, please indulge me.
I see how everyone has jumped on the libel bandwagon. Oh well, I'll sit and wait for AccessData's solicitors to call. Doubt they will be concerned with little ol' me.
After getting back into the AccessData forums, I found the post that I was thinking of. This is the URL

"Dan,
While FTK2.0 can be installed and a case completed, try replicating the case again from scratch.
Not all function work. Bookmarking is even problematic.
Searches are problematic.
Adding evidence is problematic.
Saving cases is iffy.
Watch the logging of the CodeMeter.
The 2nd completion does not mirror the first, therefore, findings can not be replicated. In court that would be a killer.
Additionally, running replication testing does not always create a case.
If results can not be replicated, then FTK2.0 does not work.
If you are sure that you have found a way to install FTK2.0 and all it's tools work, please provide instructions"
Thankyou!
Is it the Nuix story or something related to FTK (or something else)?
I was earlier on the Nuix fbi thread, are you referring to this Jamie?
