Unethical- sending out a mass email with someones info?

Redkenwolf asked:


I’m part of a company that sells items and I just received an email from the person in charge saying not to sign up this one person because they are fraudulent and owe money. Then the email has the persons name (both used) social security number, address, birth date and license number. I know that this may be fraudulent info, but if some of it is correct can you actually send out a mass email with that kind of information?

Can I sue someone for harassing me online?



Some childish person (who is underage) on Yahoo Answers, keeps emailing me, and trying to cuss me out, and is just insulting me. And this person won’t stop. Even when I blocked him/her, that person made a new account, and keeps doing this. Can I take this to court?

If I have a video of my ex masturbating can I get into trouble for emailing it to people as an act of revenge?



I’m not planning this, as much as it’s crossed my mind because the ***** left me pregnant with two young kids and the thought of blackmailing him or just causing him embarrassment is pleasant. But couldn’t I get in trouble? What if I sent to from a public computer and used an email address I created just for the purpose of doing this. How would anyone know for sure I did it besides him?

Should the attorney general be put to the curb?



I wrote a very long and what I hope to be articulate letter to Hillary today about this subject in response to a mass email on the subject. I think this administration has been slowly eroding the rule of law. Replacing competent and successful US attorneys with partisan automatons is a power grab.
Especially when they are encourage to findreasons to single out democrats. That is a tactic use din Russia or China. That is not what the rule of law is about,everyone is equal before the law no exceptions.
This I realize does not happen all the time, but any deliberate action to undermine this idea should be dealt with quickly. I think the concept of the rule of law is the most important facet to a representative democracy. Without it we just have tyranny with a fancy name,and tyrants who are elected. Saddam was elected so is hugo chavez.

Can you copyright something by emailing it to yourself, the same way you can copyright by snail mailing?



So I know you can copyright anything by snail mailing it to yourself and not opening it. I was wondering if you email your self something, (like to an email account where all the mail is kept online, like gmail) would that prove copyright too?

I mean, it seems to me, that the google’s (or microsofts, or yahoo’s) servers, should hold up as well in court as a postmark date stamp. But I don’t know for sure.

As a side question — if emailing wont work, could I just mail myself a piece of paper with the md5sum’s of the files I want to copyright, along with their size and name.

As another side question — is there any sort of website, that will digitally sign a file, in a way that proves the date it was signed with an email address, linked in the signature to prove identity?
I think I will settle on the email for now. It’s just two short tracks I made. And My email provider is Gmail — so I am quite sure, that my email will still be there 5-6 or even 10 years from now. They may have deleted server logs, about the transport of the email, but the email itself, and all the headers, and the attached files, will remain in my gmail box until I delete it.
