Senate bill proposes to close e-mail wiretapping "loophole"
Declan McCullagh writes in his Politicis Blog on C|Net that:
Two senators are hoping to close what they call a "loophole" in U.S. wiretapping law that led to an acquittal last year of a man charged with e-mail interception.
In that case, the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Bradford Councilman, a former executive for an online bookseller, did not violate federal wiretap laws by allegedly snooping on e-mail that Amazon.com sent to customers through accounts Councilman provided. (The appeals court currently is reconsidering its earlier ruling.)
