[Air-L] a question about privacy protection and copyright in Internet research

[jeremy hunsinger]

yes, check login status, i agree.    facebook is an odd case because of their terms of service.    but if you cannot see something because you are not logged in, then you have questions of privacy much more significantly.  most of my research currently deals with things that are a. no login (published blogs) or b. login required but company releases the necessary rights to material that may be openly viewed  and anyone can login and openly view(second life).  there are other issues in both because both can have private channels and sections, but i don't research those.
