<DIV>Julie et. <SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">al</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Actually, there are cases where a private e-mail meant to be private and sent to one and only one e-mail address could be a basis for leg<SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">al</SPAN></SPAN> <SPAN class=correction id="">action </SPAN>if someone made that e-mail public in a manner that did damage to the author's <SPAN class=correction id="">reputation</SPAN> and/or <SPAN class=correction id="">livelihood</SPAN> and/or if the exploiter of the e-mail was making profit off the "private" communication.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thus if I wrote my wife (I'm not married, this is just an example) a steamy long e-mail that was only sent to and meant for her, but somehow ended up as dialog in a movie love scene, and there was documentation that dialog was lifted word for word from this private e-mail to my wife (I'm trying to create extreme circumstances that are very <SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">actionable</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>), which my boss found out about, thus firing me for writing "pornography," which was not my intention, the courts might consider this an improper use of a private communication, and award damages, both for damage to reputation and livelihood and wrongfully gained profit from someone else's written statements taken without permission or compensation.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As <SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">Keely</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN> pointed out, the more you are a figure in the public arena the less you are protected from use of your statements by someone else for whatever purpose...</DIV>

<DIV>
<DIV>Thank you to all who have helped me figure out what is going on behind this "<SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">blogstalking</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>." As a relatively newcomer to this whole vision2020 system, this was something I wasn't aware of. But now the light has been shed on the subject, and I appreciate all those who helped to do that. You will notice that I am now claiming rights on everything that I write. As it is included in my email signature, I'll be protecting myself against my friends, or worse, MY MOTHER, from stealing any of my words either. Oh wait...they are good people.</DIV>
<DIV>So my words were cut and pasted into someone else's <SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">website</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>. I'm not the only one. And at least it's not as bad as being emailed by some unemployed ex-senator and told I'm a cruel and <SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">whiny</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN> b****. Now that's a re<SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">al</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN> highlight of my day. Since nothing anyone <SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">emails</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN> is protected, what's <SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id=""><SPAN class=correction id="">stoppin</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>' me from including that?!</DIV>
