SpyCop

SpyCop
claims to be the first in the industry to identify and block
spy programs. If your PC is infected with spy software,
SpyCop will detect it with the brute force method of scanning!
SpyCop literally goes through every program file on your hard
drive leaving no "stone" unturned. With the Live Update
feature, all you do is click on "update now" and your SpyCop
detection database will be instantly updated. SpyCop
was a PC World's top pick for spyware detection in the Jan.2003
edition. SpyCop was featured on Tech TV's Cybercrime
spyware detection segment, as detecting every spyware program
for which they checked. Like Netcop above, use
SpyCop to hunt down client-based spyware in conjunction
with BeHidden to render impotent network-based monitoring
tools for ultimate privacy protection. Free
trial version available; however, we installed the trial version
of GhostAudit spy software (see below) on a Win 2000 client
and the trial version of SpyCop and ran a scan. The
trial version of SpyCop detected nothing while GhostAudit
was running. Hmmmm.....

Analysis Of The Provisions Of The USA PATRIOT Act That Relate
To Online Activities (Oct 31, 2001). On October 26, 2001,
President Bush signed the USA Patriot Act into law. With this
law sweeping new powers were given to both domestic law enforcement
and international intelligence agencies that have eliminated
the checks and balances that previously gave courts the opportunity
to ensure that these powers were not abused. |

The
Extent of Systematic Monitoring of Employee E-mail and Internet
Use:
Fourteen million employees -- just over one-third of the online
workforce in the United States -- have their Internet or e-mail
use under continuous surveillance at work. Worldwide,
the number of employees under such surveillance is at 27 million,
just over one-quarter of the global online workforce. The
"online workforce" is those employees who have Internet and/or
e-mail access at work, and use it regularly. Mr. Schulman
also provides a great legal overview of your rights in the
U.S. as it relates to workplace privacy: Employee
Monitoring: Is There Privacy in the Workplace?

 Institute
For Justice pursues
cutting-edge litigation in the courts of law and in the court
of public opinion on behalf of individuals whose most basic
rights are denied by the State - rights like economic liberty,
private property rights, and the right to free speech, not only
on paper but also on the Internet. Civil
forfeiture abuse
is a particular focus: "Law enforcement chooses civil forfeiture
because the deck is stacked against property owners. In civil
proceedings, for instance, the government only needs to prove
the property’s connection to allegedly criminal activity by
a mere “preponderance of evidence” standard, not proof “beyond
a reasonable doubt”" |

fighting to ensure that the Bill of Rights will always be more
than a "parchment barrier" against government oppression and
the tyranny of the majority. |
