Court Rejects Intel Electronic Trespass Charge

Posted by simoniker on from the get-orff-moi-server dept.

NearlyHeadless writes "The California Supreme Court reversed lower court rulings that ex-Intel employee Kourosh Kenneth Hamidi committed electronic trespass by sending e-mail to Intel employees, reports the San Jose Business Journal. E-mail has the same protection as other communication, according to the court's opinion, available here (PDF link)." We've covered Hamidi's case more than once in the past.

    I total agree. We need to make sure we look at the big picture. Giving up free speech to fight spam would be a terrible long term trade-off. However, I would not be surprised if some politician, say a current republican administration official, tried to limit free speech under the very guise of stopping both Spam and Terrorism (there is a link, you know).
