“
You are engaged in a chat session with some friends and colleagues, when one of them makes a witty remark or imparts a pithy bit of information. You hit CTRL-A and select the conversation, then copy it to a document that you save. Under a little-noticed decision in a New Hampshire Superior Court in late February, these actions may just land you in jail.

Seems there’s one more riptide in the Internet Privacy waters. Apparently, your chat sessions may now be governed by the same laws that apply to your phone calls and other communications…namely, you must gain consent…
Thanks, Moody Mama!
