The US First Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston has ruled in favor of an ISP reading its customers emails whose purpose was to gain a commercially competitive advantage over booksellers like Amazon. The ISP in question is Interloc, a bookseller. The actual charges against Interloc (Alibris) were of wiretapping, but the defense argued since the email was not in storage and in memory (RAM), they were not protected by the current privacy laws on stored messages.
However, this goes deeper than one thought. Interloc, preceeded by Alibris, agreed to a plea agreement back in 1999 for intercepting customer communications and possessing unauthorized password files. Its all relatively tied in together here.
