Legal Question in Technology Law in California

Re: Electronic mail

It's illegal, but you may not be able to get the police interested in pursuing it. If you can't get them interested, you should know that you can bring a civil suit and get an injunction to stop them in a few days, based on the fact that their hijacking of your e-mail will likely cause you irreparable damage. You can also recover money damages at a later date, based on what you can prove, and probably even punitive damages as well.

If you are in Southern California, feel free to give me a call. 626-744-7787.

Re: Electronic mail

Their actions are illegal. You might file a complaint with local police, but they don't take these kinds of things serious.

Your best bet is to take civil action in court to force them to stop, and then sue for damages.

Re: Electronic mail

Yes, illegal. The real question is what you can do to stop them and how you can be compensated. You can report it to the police and/or FBI.

Additionally, you can file a civil (non-criminal) lawsuit against the evil-doer, get an injunction against them (court order to prevent them from doing this/doing it again) and sue for damages incurred as a result.

Of course what you should be doing is documenting the information that you can obtain that will prove that they have actually done what you claim and how they did it.

I would be willing to discuss this matter with you if you desire.
