Slashdot 看到的新聞:FL Court Rules Against Spouse-Installed Spyware:
A Florida court ruled that it was illegal for a wife to install spyware on her husband’s computer, in order to catch him in an extramarital affair. The three judge panel barred the woman from using the chat records from being introduced as evidence in the divorce proceedings. The court ruled that the software, Spector, violated Florida’s wiretapping law – which states that it is criminal to ‘intentionally intercept’ any ‘electronic communication.’
也就是說,這幾位法官認為 Spector 這套 Spyware 軟體違反佛州的法律,所以不能拿這套軟體的紀錄當作證據。
