Legal Question in Technology Law in Kentucky
computer
My husband had someone go into my password locked computer to examine files. Did he violate any law. The laptop was a gift from him but he says it belongs to him. Did he have the right to do this?

Re: computer
It if really belongs to you, then yes he has trespassed and violated your privacy rights. But you would have to be able to prove that only you use the computer ever since you got it--i.e., only your files are on it, your favorites, etc. There may also be KY criminal laws that apply.
