Do Not Call/No Trespassing
After reading the OPG v. Diebold case, I couldn’t help feeling bad for the poor Diebold employees whose home addresses and cell phone numbers were published in that email archive. If publishing the archive falls under the fair use doctrine, does that mean that there is no issue with publishing their personal contact information also? Or is that information considered factual, something that can be discovered? Is a cell phone number considered private information? What if a reader of the archive uses those home addresses to find and harass the employee(s)? Is there any remediation is available to those Diebold employees?? This just seemed like an interesting intersection of Fair Use, Facts, and Privacy to me.
