Digital BW, The Print

I'm sorry Greg, but you have still got this totally wrong. Yahoo owns the
messages because it is stored on their server - you don't have the right to
take anything. If Yahoo wanted to do anything with those messages that
infringed the Intellectual Copyright of the owner, it would have problems.
And certainly stealing it and then saying I'll give it back if you want, is
crazy. You are in direct infringement of Yahoo privacy and copyright
statements. My website is hosted by Yahoo, would you take my photographs
without permission? I strongly suggest you take legal advice before
continuing with this.
