I'm truly amazed. Mike Godwin, who is a lawyer who *specializes* in this sort of thing, has rebuffed this statement several times, and given his phone number for interested BBS sysops to call him. And yet, people continue to spew disbelief.
Of course, without real case law, Mike's opinion is still just that, but when some BBS sysop gets nailed by the ECPA, I'm gonna laugh.
Hasn't happened yet and the ECPA was passed in what? 1986? I really doubt if a BBS sysop is going to get nailed over someone's view of e-mail on their system.
