What about electronic mail, or "e-mail?" E-Mail has
been the single biggest area of misinformation about
the new law. First, section 2701 does make it a
federal offense to read someone else's electronic mail.
That would be exceeding your authorization, since
"private" e-mail systems do not intend for anyone other
than the sender or receiver to see that mail.
To me, this means: If a email list is archived by the owner but only
subscribers have access (or if the owner does not archive it), then it
is a federal offense for anyone to make archives available without
subscription.
Fine. Then it should be illegal to post it anywhere it might be in
jeopardy of being disseminated. IOW, it should be illegal for you to
tell your secret to anyone not legally allowed to know that secret.
Your secret is as safe with me as it was with you should be the rule.
