I run a personal, non-commercial blog (with some ads) on my own domain. I was solicited (by email) by a sales rep on behalf of Company X. In previous blog entries, I have spoken poorly of Company X specifically and Company X's industry as a whole. The email contains only the correspondence and lacks any terms of use or disclaimers about reproducing the content. I have posted the original email and my response word-for-word (I have removed the sender's last name, and altered the sender's email address and phone number). It is my understanding that: (1) email is considered insecure and non-private by the vast majority of internet users, (2) it is common knowledge among average people that online communications are neither secure nor private, and (3) claims to privacy or usage restrictions against the recipient of an email are invalid and unenforceable. If relevant, this is in Pennsylvania. Thanks!

Though the technology is different, years ago when I edited a Mensa Local newsletter, I put a warning message on the newsletter that any mail received in my role as Mensa editor was subject to being printed,subject to my editorial policies, if I was not specifically told not to do it.

Though this does not solve an existing question, it might be a good idea for future problems to put such a warning on your blog page, or as auto signature if you can.

Yes...freedom of speech.

Especially if there's no disclaimers at the bottom like most good companies have.

The poster below me is a freaking idiot...you can't be sued.
