No. The correct answer is that in the U.S., if the Agent in question has a valid subpoena or N.S.L., you must comply. If he doesn't, then you do not have to comply. I cannot answer for any other jurisdiction. Also, make sure you have staff attorneys well-versed in Internet law -- you'll need them either way. - - ferg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.5.3 (Build 5003) wj8DBQFNS4sCq1pz9mNUZTMRAu1EAKCMTVfXnYlbzjpyrKNfiW1grhaUgwCfQTos KDDZdBA0Xd/2cy0Wx9qf3gc= =vNsc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
