NOTICE TO LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENTS

The owners and users of this system are exercising First Amendment rights.

Some material on this system is in preparation for public dissemination
and is "work product material" protected under The First Amendment Privacy
Protection Act of 1980 (USC 42, Section 2000aa).  Note that this is a
civil statute.  Violation of this statute by law enforcement agents is
very likely to result in a civil suit as provided Section 2000aa-6.  Each
and every person who has "work product material" stored on this system is
entitled to recover at least minimum damages of $1,000 plus all legal
expenses.  Agents in some states may not be protected from personal civil
liability if they violate this statute.

In addition, there are e-mail and chat logs, i.e., "stored electronic
communications" as defined by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act
(ECPA) which have been in storage less than 180 days on this system.  Such
stored electronic communications are protected by the ECPA from seizure or
even "preventing authorized access" without a warrant specific to each
person's electronic communications.  Seizing the computer where these
communications reside would prevent such authorized access.  There are
civil actions which may be taken against law enforcement agents under
provision of the Act.  You can find them in USC 18, 2707.  On this system
you can expect multiple people to have stored communications.  Each of
them is entitled to collect at least $1,000 plus all legal expenses for
violations of Section 2700 and 2703.

Please ensure you have appropriate warrants before seizing this equipment.
