The situation is more complicated than you're making it out to be. The software in question was activated because the laptop was not supposed to be removed from the school by the student since the parents had not given permission or paid a $55 fee for insurance for said laptop. The laptop thus was missing or stolen as far as school records were concerned. If a thief had actually had the laptop, would you be as concerned about the privacy of the thief? I suspect not. In some jurisdictions, the student could or would be prosecuted for theft in these circumstances. This situation is more confused than portrayed. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
