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.
I'm posting this email on my website, and going to ridicule it horribly.
Feel free to sue.
