Situtation:
I assume this is a gray area. But let's say at a meeting of friends in one state (e.g., Boulder Creek, Ca), we create a Video message, digitize it, and sent it to that friend, by uploading into an account that I (habs) and the friend (rjc) has joint access to?
Questions:
Is that communications? Is it private? What if the message contains images that might be considered "adult"?
Would it be different if that file was e-mailed or FTPed rather than uploaded.
Or, let's say I put in some very public FTP site, but used RSA to legally encrypt it with my friend's public key? Would it be private communications or public?
These questions are sufficiently absorbing that I think I'll defer dealing with them until they actually come up. --Mike
