Neither of these instances is illegal search or seizure. WorldStream may face a civil suit from the actual owners of the servers, but BREIN is off the hook for anything resembling an illegal seizure. (An exception could be if they intimated they had a court order, and did not.) And as long as BREIN did not publish, distribute, or make available any personal information contained on the servers, there's little chance of their being held accountable for breach or privacy.

do you know anything about dutch or canadian privacy laws
ASKING/DEMANDING/RECIEVING information your not entitled without notifying and getting written autorization from the collectee is a violation of cede laws.
PEPIDA and the dutch equivalent is a bitch
that the reason i mentioned the priivacy laws, not theft. or illegal S&S because worldstreams "screwup" let brien off the hook for those issues.
the privacy issue ie posession of private info without authorization (from the collectee or court order) is a completely different issue
