This is often heard but I don't think there is legal justification for it. It is pretty clear that it is your data, hosted on someone else's server that you pay by looking at ads and allowing them to read your mail. It is your mail nevertheless.
Additionally, if we are really picky, only mail written by you is your mail. All mail received is normally copyrighted by someone else and belongs to the sender or/and his/her company. Very strictly speaking in some countries you are not legally allowed to forward someone else's mail if it bears any artistic value.
Yes I know, it is off topic. But it was fun, thanks for the spark!
- cerberusss 8y ago> All mail received is normally copyrighted by someone else and belongs to the sender or/and his/her company Source please? Shouldn't there be a creative aspect about it? Which is probably not the case for lots of emails.
- theyinwhy 8y agoCorrect, that's why I wrote this at the end if the paragraph: >[...] if it bears any artistic value. Source: As this depends on the country you live in you would have to look up your country's copyright law and see if it's true for your country.
