Just to be perfectly clear about the subject of my post, it addresses the rights of others, not the hacker, who have conversations with the hacker. (The hacker himself, clearly a nefarious ne'er-do-well, has abrogated all rights to privacy by his own actions.)
.. In response to that, I'll stay close to my original supposition that if the communications were not supposed to be secure, then they are essentially open. If said conversations with third parties took place over a secured (encrypted) channel to another network, then I suppose it would not be fair to deny the third parties their rights. Otherwise, I should think that the local wiretap laws still apply. To draw a parallel with the DirecTV case, I'd say that the customers' information should not be disclosed if the original transactions were confidential. There is certainly not enough information in any case to get DirecTV involved. I hope there's no misunderstanding now, at least of my views. Regards, Dan Bernard
