Re: Are Email Addresses Public Info?: Blogger, Movie Studio Spar Over E-mail List
Quote:whether e-mail addresses are public Umm, it depends on the email address. If it is an email address that is displayed on a page for purposes of allowing customers to contact a person/company then it is public. If it is an email address that you acquired through a mailing list, or an email sent to you then it is private. Case in point, eBay "pink" employees who display their email addresses in their "pink" band on eBay forums can be considered to have public email addresses. eBay buyers/sellers who post on the same boards have private email addresses. In the blogger case, the email addresses the person listed would only be "public" if they were also displayed on the agents/producers own web sites as contact addresses.
