This does bring up an interesting side issue: does *anyone* out there
providing hosted e-mail declare a level of confidentialily and not
claim ownership of content ? The two are separate questions... the
latter being a snide dig at the recent Passport T&Cs.
Anyone with views / opinions from the UK and Europe (we have data
protection laws - not a snide comment, but a fact that changes what
you can put in T&Cs) would be more than welcome. For those outside
Europe, bottom line is that the "identifiable living individual" owns
the data, not the collector or processor.
Relevance ? E-Mail hosting in our case also includes mail lists.
Anyone being tempted to raise the issues of illegal materials as
emotive references, be aware that various other laws then override the
one above and give the authorities plenty of power over examining
contents - usually without any warrant.
