After a discussion on UTwente chat today where I was roundly criticized for pointing out that it is illegal in the US to disclose the contents of intercepted communications. I am wondering what the deal is in other countries. It was pointed out to me that "its legal in free countries..." I would dispute that but I would really just be guessing. The matter came up when someone posted an EAM & I pointed out that technically that is illegal but I couldn't imagine someone actually getting in trouble for it. It seems that posting youtube vids of this sort of thing would be of questionable legality also. I recall that ,for example, in the Utility column in Monitoring Times people would log the frequency, the mode ,the user & a very general description of the actual communication without getting real specific. Can anybody shed some light on this.
