Whether or not it is the law is part of the debate. Congress, when it passed the Communications Assistance For Law Enforcement Act requiring wiretapping capabilities in new telephone, cellular and satellite technologies specifically rejected the inclusion of computer networks. But how that applies to telephone calls over the Internet and computer communications over differing mediums such as digital lines, cable and satellite remains the subject of much contention. The case illustrates the legal questions now arising as more information is distributed via computer networks or from data banks. All rights reserved.
