[pchelpers] News:Will The DOJ's Interpretation Of Email Privacy Make It Difficult To Prosecute Palin Email Hacker?

from the we-said-what-now? dept
While plenty of folks are talking about the cracking of Sarah Palin's
personal email account, the EFF is noting that the Justice Department's
own interpretation of email privacy laws may actually make it difficult
to prosecute the hacker under the most obvious statute, the Stored
Communications Act. You see, since the DOJ would prefer that your email
not be considered private, it has interpreted emails that you've opened,
but not deleted, as not being subject to the SCA.
