[ga] MPAA Spying Case To Be Appealed

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  Seems that bell has not yet tolled in this case for the MPAA...

  FWIW, the EFF does have a steep hill of the burden of proof
to climb here, but I personally believe they are essentually
correct in their contention.  However it seems that still
ICANN's IPC is still supporting the MPAA's membership.
One can only wonder why...  Could it be the $$ factor?

  I would hope that Mr. Glickman gets the boot!

"Back in 2005, the MPAA hired Robert Anderson, a former
associate of TorrentSpy's owner, to

illegally obtain internal emails
and trade secrets. He did so by routing the email from the internal
server to his own Gmail account. He subsequently sold 34 pages of stolen
information for $15,000 to the MPAA. TorrentSpy owner Justin Bunnel sued
them for spying, but lost the case due to a ruling that stated it was
not illegal since the information was not intercepted under the Wiretap
Act.
The EFF called this decision a 'dangerous attempt to circumvent privacy
laws,' since it implies that the unauthorized interception of anyone's
personal email is legal. The appeal could have ramifications for MPAA
president Dan Glickman, as the decision is expected around the time of
his contract renewal."
