BOSTON — In an online
eavesdropping case with poten
tially profound implications, a
federal appeals court ruled it
was acceptable for a company
that offered e-mail service to
surreptitiously track its sub
scribers’ messages.
A now-defunct online liter
ary clearinghouse, Interloc
Inc., made copies of the e-
mails in 1998 so it could peruse
messages sent to its subscribers
by rival Amazon.com Inc. An
Interloc executive was subse
quently indicted on an illegal
wiretapping charge.
An advocacy group said
Tuesday’s ruling by the 1st
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
opens the door to further inter
pretations of the federal
Wiretap Act that could erode
personal privacy rights.
“It puts all of our electron
ic communications in jeop
ardy — voice mail, e-mail,
you name it,” said Jerry
Berman, president of the
Center for Democracy and
Technology. “I think it vio
lates the letter and spirit of
the statute.”
Another group, the Elect
ronic Frontier Foundation, said
in a statement that the court
“dealt a grave blow to the priva
cy of Internet communications.”
In a 2-1 decision, the
Boston-based appeals court
upheld a federal judge’s, dis
missal last year of a wiretap
ping charge against a former
Interloc vice president, Bran
ford C. Councilman.
According to his 2001
indictment, Councilman
directed employees to write
computer code to intercept
and copy all incoming e-mails
from Amazon.com to
Interloc’s subscribers, who
were dealers seeking buyers
for rare and out-of-print
books. Amazon.com did not
then offer used books, but
offered customers help in
tracking down rare books.
The government alleged that
Interloc tried to exploit the
Amazon e-mails “to develop a
list of books, learn about com
petitors and attain a commer
cial advantage.”
But Councilman argued that
no violation of the Wiretap Act
had occurred because the e-
mails were copied while in
“electronic storage” — the
messages were in the process
of being routed through a net
work of servers to recipients.
The wiretapping law broadly
protects eavesdropping on mes
sages that are not stored —
such as an unrecorded phone
conversation — but does not
afford the same legal protec-
tionstions to stored messages.

Two astronauts succeed with repair

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The inter
national space station’s two astronauts hus
tled through an unusually risky spacewalk
and successfully replaced a bad
circuit breaker Wednesday — a
sweet victory following last
week’s failed attempt.
Shouts of “hurray!” and
“great!” emanated from space
after American Mike Fincke and
Russian Gennady Padalka
learned their effort had paid off.
“Great job, you guys,”
Mission Control radioed.
“We’re glad to be able to be
of service,” Fincke said.
It was a long and potentially
dangerous haul to the work site
— and back to the hatch after the
repairs were made.
Fincke and Padalka had to
cross nearly 100 feet to get to the
fried circuit breaker — a gruel
ing distance for spacewalkers
over difficult terrain. Then they
managed to pry off the cover for
the row of circuit breakers; it was
stiff and incredibly hard to move.
The two were ahead of schedule the
entire time, and flight controllers kept urg-
Last Thursday, they barely made it out
the hatch when their spacewalk was aborted,
just 14 minutes after it began. An oxygen-
flow switch on Fincke’s suit did not lock
into the proper position and oxygen gushed
out of his tank, prompting flight controllers
to order the spacewalkers back inside.

Less than six hours after venturing out,
the men were safely back inside.
NASA was anxious to replace the circuit
breaker to restore power to one of the gyro
scopes that keep the 225-mile-high outpost
steady and pointed in the right direction.
The circuit breaker conked out in April,
leaving the space station with just two good
gyroscopes, the bare minimum. With a new
