"If anything I think it's going to continue for many years."

On Justice Winkelmann's decision which found the release of cloned hard drives to the FBI for shipping to the United States breached the law, Kumar says this area of the law requires more inspection by the government and criminal forensic experts.

"The crown previously advanced an argument that by copying data and giving it to the defendant it would somehow weaken the data's integrity," says Kumar.

"This is something the industry and government need to inspect. Forensic copying of data is important, and something the government is actually quite good at."

"What this decision shows is anyone that argues that copying data somehow makes it less credible is probably incorrect."
