It doesn't matter if the content of the emails was public, breaking into someones email account is wrong. PG: can we ban wired articles for a while? There's been a glut of them recently that have little to do with hacking or startups.
- paulgb 17y agoI agree that breaking into someone's account is wrong, but the argument isn't about that. It's about whether it is a felony or a misdemeanor.
- frossie 17y agoMoreover, the legal standing of privacy for e-mails is very interesting and I doubt I am the only one crious to see where this line of argument goes. For example, it speaks to the question "If I have consented for my employer to scan my email, does that mean my employer has the right to make my emails public"?
