Not that I'm necessarily supporting this interpretation, but as
I explained earlier the courts have been interpreting the word
"benefit" rather broadly--that's the basis for the new restrictions.

Also, most point-to-point transmissions are covered by various
court interpretatons of the Act into "wiretapping" protection
areas.

Remember that the Act alone doesn't define the state of the law--
the way the COURTS interpret that act and build up case law does.
