[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1591784, member: 131855"] I agree but that is partly the result of the way we as users have handled things. We should be demanding better answers than we are getting. The other huge problem that I see is that there seems to be little concern for whether existing law is being applied consistently. Look, for example, at Clippers owner Donald Sterling. His comments were vile, repugnant, and several other adjectives I can't think of at the moment. Unfortunately, that dominated the conversation and most people spent little time on the issue of whether the conversations were recorded illegally. The answer to that depends upon some facts that, in my mind, have not been well established. Clearly the California law was intended to protect a certain degree of privacy and that may well have been violated. The Sterling case is simply the most recent but it's nhot the first where a violation of privacy was not met with an appropriate response by the general public. Remember when Sarah Palin's e-mail account was hacked. Many people, including many political pundits, suggested that this was no big deal and she should have chosen better passwords. I doubt the reaction would have been the same if their e-mail had been compromised and presented for the world to see. [/QUOTE]
