The legal case involves whether the seizure of a computer bulletin board system and its private email messages constitutes an unlawful intercept. The court analyzed the technical terms and definitions of the Federal Wiretap Act and Title I of the ECPA, particularly the definition of "intercept." The Secret Service violated 18 U.S.C. § 2701(a) by accessing a computer without authorization and obtaining or preventing authorized access to electronic communications in electronic storage. However, Congress did not intend for this conduct to provide the basis for a civil remedy under Title I.
