You've Got Mail (and Court Says Others Can Read It)
By SAUL HANSELL

Published: July 6, 2004

Last week a federal appeals court in Boston ruled that federal wiretap laws do not apply to e-mail messages if they are stored, even for a millisecond, on the computers of the Internet providers that process them - meaning that it can be legal for the government or others to read such messages without a court order.

The ruling was a surprise to many people, because in 1986 Congress specifically amended the wiretap laws to incorporate new technologies like e-mail. Some argue that the ruling's implications could affect emerging applications like Internet-based phone calls and Gmail, Google's new e-mail service, which shows advertising based on the content of a subscriber's e-mail messages.

Huh ?

I was reading g-mails t.o.s the other day, and I thought it was about as secure as a padlock made from swiss cheese. Guess it makes no odds now.

both the priviledge of birth thing and the court thing are bullshit.  big, smelly bullshit.  this means that the government can read everything (not that they already don't) and the network guys that actually transfer the mail can also read it.  extra big shit.

You do know that every phone call and email are listened to and scaned anyways to pick up specific phrases and things and if they seem important enough then they have a person read it and send it to higher up ect. when my dad was in the military he did i should say would have done "top secret " transmissions but since we were in peace time there was really no need. He said that was one of the first things he learned. But now they can just do it openly and get away with it.

They still call it the "House of Lords"? Seems like a title like that should have gone out with the guillotine.

I think they should have the guillotine and a public display of the beheading. But i would change it from lords to something else... like house of the lucky bastards who were born into the right family.
ya that has a nice ring to it
