Re: OT: AOL Claims Property on AIM Messages
Disturbing news... but it is their network. They physically own it. It is up to the courts to decide if the IM network is analogous to the phone system, where you have to get a wiretap order or court order to record anything.
Personally, I think the IM network is similar to the phone network, just because I say something on AT&T's phone network, it doesn't belong to them.

The two will hover, spinning inches above the ground. With a giant buttered cat array, a high-speed monorail could easily link New York with Chicago.
