Somebody gave me their email address and password to use to sell some things online. They gave me permission to use it. But now there are emails in there that could be used in court if need be. Would it be illegal to print those out and use them? Or would it be perfectly legal since they gave me their password (even though it wasn't for printing out other email). If so, how much is the fine for doing that?

i'm not sure why you would want to print out these emails... but if you really think that you're doing justice to yourself or the greater good, then it might be a good idea. would these emails hold up in court, probably. and if need be, send these emails to yourself via certified mail, that way the court will know the time and date these emails were printed (and not created during the trail.)

I think it is legal to list the names of these people, but it is dangerous for the store to print their names, addresses, and account numbers (if they are just making copies of the checks and putting them up) in one general location. This is a breeding ground for identity theft and the store should be more careful. Your friend should complain about having her information posted.

As a customer it is not your fault to know what is illegal within a business practice... she should have informed you when u ordered it.  I would refuse to pay the fine and simply play the legimate customer rights... however I do not understand what is illegal here in the first place...   what country it envolves... or whether you mean it was against the book store's policy.  This changes the issue a bit...so clairification would be nice!

First of all 2 of your images did not show.  Secondly, while the ideas behind the email information are good advice you missed the point of what phishing is all about.  This is an attempt by others to get more information about you.  Phishing emails generally entice you to go to a web site to input information about yourself, your banking account, paypal account, credit card information or anything else that can used for identity theft or to get at your real money.  You don't really talk about this anywhere in the blog.\n\nAs for the follow up with the email headers and such it is usually worthless to report these.  Most of them are either false or temp domain addresses and while the IP address might be a real address it is probably spoofed in the phishing email anyway and not where it actually originated.

The problem with this is, if any money is generated in any way from what you are doing, you are infringing on the copywrite.  That includes if you are using say google to host your website and google sells advertising space on your website (like they do).  The person who is liable is you, not google.

To my knowledge it is not illegal but could be construed as a conflict of interest or witness coercion or tampering. If you have proof or reasonable suspicion,tell the lawyers involved. Peace.

Attorney client privilege is invalid if another party is involved in the communication, which would be the person receiving the email.. Don't you watch Law and Order? Seriously, once you send an email out, you forfeit confidentiality. Don't write it down if you think it might come back someday to bite you in the butt.

If they are not using there real email I would change email addresses and report the email.(save it and or print it out! You shouldnt be getting threatend. The proper authorities should be able to use there IP address from the computer that is being used!

All email becomes a business risk.  Remember the wise advice -- If you can't afford to have it posted as a headline on Page 1 of any newspaper, then don't write it.  See recent story about two lawyers in Boston.  Very good example!

If they gave you written permission (literally written and signed), then you are ok. But if there is none, I just hope this person doesn't send out an arrest warrant. Because there is no proof that you have the right to take money out.

I think that a racist and violent email is considered harassment, which you can sue for.  If you think you are actually in danger, though, I'd notify the police.

The content of email is only as secure as your connection to the server.  Anything that snoops between you and it could copy the message.\n\nFinding someone's email address, if that is what you means, is only as easy as they want it to be for you, like advertising it places.\n\nSome companies will sell your email address to other companies for marketing mails...

What, did you just wake up this morning and say to yourself  "Self, I want to do something illegal today"? Illegal how? Not that a website can really even be illegal... one could teach you to do illegal things, however, or perhaps distribute illegal software or other such things. What sort of illegal are we talking, here?

Get a lawyer to write him a letter--it should only cost $100-200.  Issues to consider -- violating your right to privacy, right to publicity, and defamation.  Demand that the website be taken down.\nAlso consider contacting his Internet Service Provider.  They have obligations to take down illegal material (well, at least they do in the U.S.-- UK libel law is actually stricter than U.S. libel law, so U.K. ISPs may be even more willing to censor their subscribers' speech).  Contact Google to report the violation of your rights to ensure that a cached version is not stored by Google.\n\nIf you're going to write him an e-mail first, I would suggest being polite but firm.  State that you've never authorized this mini-biography, nor the pictures being taken in a private pub.  State that the false statements are libelous and caused harm to your reputation, and that the other statements and pictures violate your privacy.  State that in the interest of fairness and decency, you demand that he take down the website and destroy any electronic copies of your pictures, and that you request confirmation of such in 5 days, otherwise further legal action may be taken.\n\nIt works best if you have a lawyer draft this letter.  It shows that you're serious , and will be artfully drafted to scare the bejeezsus out of him. Plus, you can handle it and don't have to be stressed.

From what I understand, emails can be used as proof of an agreement between two or more parties. Yes, people could forge a fake one, but it is also easy to prove that the email came from their company to you. Whatever the case, keep the email and any other info you get from them. \nGood Luck and God Bless!
