Data Recovery Companies

[Gilps]

Good people of the Gennie, I seek your advice - knowing as I do what a wise and helpful bunch you are.

 

Let's say an aquaintance of mine had had an external hard drive fail to point where only a specialist data recovery firm could help. Let's assume for the exercise that the drive contains a massive amount of media files that unwisely are mostly not backed up anywhere else. Let's also say that, although there is nothing in the specific nature of the files that should cause any alarm bells to ring (this ain't the celebrity nonce thread), it would be fairly obvious to the casual observer that the origin of said files was not entirely legal.

 

Would a company employed to recover this drive be likely to care about the provinence of the data and do something about it, or is this aquaintance being unduly paranoid?
