Publishing Private Email Without the Author's Consent is Wrong

[Guest guest]

Dear Mother Madhusudani Radha,

 

Yes, Mataji, it says alot about his sense of etiquette. I'm sorry I neglected

to mention this very important point, which you have now brought to my

attention. I should have pointed out to him that he was taking your private

email and making it public, which is a violation of your privacy.

 

But that's the one of the hazards of email, isn't it? At any moment, anything

we've launched into cyberspace can be picked up and broadcast, with or without

our permission. Many devotees have had this regrettable experience. With that

in mind, we must always be careful about the content of any email.

 

Your servant,

 

Pancha Tattva dasa

Hare Krishna,

 

It is also against the law. The writer of a letter is the copyright owner

of the contents, unless the copyright is specifically assigned to another

party. Even if the letter was written to you and you have the physical

possession, the content belongs to the writer. This is also true of articles

or letters submitted for publication, in print or in electronic form.

 

Your servant,

Sri Rama das
