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!
