Ivan,
Did you state this general rule as a common sense thought?
I would like to know the source of this rule, because I have seen a
similar thought in a TERENA's paper www.terena.nl/activities/tf-csirt/
meeting12/legal-issues-Schuurman.pdf (although, they state a little
different disclosure issue)
