Anyone ever just firing off an email has zero expectation to privacy. I In the US it is not a problem - with a few exceptions: national security, you signed a NDA, public disclosure of private facts (https://injury.findlaw.com/torts-and-personal-injuries/invasion-of-privacy--public-disclosure-of-private-facts.html), copyright protected info... I may have missed one, but no problem here AFAIK. It will be fun to hear from his atty jtwrace and MrMoM 1 1 Link to comment

Ralf11 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 The bottom line here is that there might be legal exposure. It seems that no expert (i.e. IP lawyers) really knows, as there seems to be little or no case law on this. And, BTW, a BMW is a Bavarian Buick. AudioDoctor 1 Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Alex is in Australia. Like the EU it may have different privacy laws. AFAIK, both web sites involved here are in the US, tho I heard the analog web site was actually in Portland. Link to comment

Amendments 1, 4, 5, 9 common law is much older - at least 5 torts have or imply it some French code law may be germane; and then there are Justinian & Hammuradic codes... very old Link to comment

Ralf11 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Jabbr - I agree with your post above. When I hit "The Internet was founded by the govt and initially paid for by the govt and now has been taken over by big business." I could not help but think about the research (basic & otherwise) that is funded by tax dollars but has produced huge profits for drug and med. device co.s ... A bigger potato... Link to comment
