Here's what Murray Rothbard wrote 40 years ago, long before the explosive power of the internet:
"Wiretapping is a contemptible invasion of privacy and of property right, and of course should be outlawed as an invasive act."
"...it is itself criminal to invade the property of anyone not yet convicted of a crime. It may well be true, for example, that if the government employed a ten-million man espionage force to spy upon and tap the wires of the entire population, the total amount of private crime would be reduced.... But what would this be compared to the mass crime that would thus be committed, legally and without shame, by the government itself?"
Invasion of your privacy is nothing less than trespassing on your property. Your property includes the ground outside your bedroom window (whether owned or rented) and the internet signals you generate on your desktop computer. Be aware of the agreement you signed with internet servers; most of your postings are public. If you want privacy, don't blab on the internet.
