[Air-l] ethics - aol data

[Dr. W. Reid Cornwell]

Nancy and Jeremy,

About a year ago Nancy Bayme wrote that an email sent to someone is the
property of the sender. 

I have been confused by this. The discussion of the AOL affair rekindled
this confusion.

I'm interested in her take on Jeremy's comments. I am also interested in
Jeremy's take on Nancy's statement.

Also, if it is not the sender's property, to what extent is the receiver
ethically, legally, or morally obligated to sender for the use of the
content.
