How can there be copyrighted private messages on a public medium of this
type? Despite various assertions to the contrary, it may be that private
copyrighted messages on a public medium of this type constitute an
oxymoron of considerable proportions. If the Federal Government has the
power to review all transmissions on the internet, I doubt that it can be
regarded as private in any significant way.
