Regardless, this case has raised important Internet civil liberties issues as the government was reading this guy's email for years and was able to do so without a search warrant. I talked about this issue a bit in my 2006 Phreaknic talk on situations where the 4th amendment doesn't apply.

Funny how they left all that 4th amendment stuff out of the news article. Scratch that...it's not funny, it's sad.

BTW, I need some of your business cards so when that scene in Law and Order when the police are questioning me inevitably happens, I can whip them out and say, "If you have any more questions, you'll have to speak to my lawyer." ;-)
