Hello Björn.

     I was reading where some US courts have ruled that it is not an
invasion of privacy for authorities to monitor who someone sends
emails to and what websites someone might visit. As I understand the
ruling the autorities are not permitted to view the content of the
emails or the content of the websites that some might visit without
a search warrant.

     How many times have you clicked on a link and then found out that
you DEFINITELY did not want to go there?

 BF>    True. They are obliged to assist in any way possible *without*

 BF>    I wish more people would do so before they form an opinion. :)

     I will take a look when I get a chance.

 BF>    Here's a blog entry from one of the guys running TPB with more

     Thanks, I will take a look.
