Yes, I would have to agree with you here and was going to say nearly the
exact same thing. I wonder if his slanderous attacks to Verio are equally
illegal as the case he's trying to make.
To be slanderous, it has to be false.
o You say that you can do anything you want. That no laws apply to you.
Including privacy laws.
o You monitored protected communications to obtain private information
(the number of smtp packets sent by Norcal), and then published that
information.
o You haven't said it was a mistake. Just the opposite.
So how is this false?
Unless of course the publicity is that Verio can't be trusted to keep
private information private. Or that the publicity is that Verio thinks it
can use any private information that passes through it to its own ends.
This looks like established fact.
How many of OUR customers really want you to do that?
How many of OUR customers really want you to think you can do anything you
want, and that no laws apply to you regarding THEIR communications?
I know MY customers don't want YOU to look at THEIR communications. Even if
they aren't encrypted.
