(What is a line eater?)

Due to the overwhelming response, I have posted the complete text of
the Electronic Communications Privacy Act in net.sources.  Although
there have been some changes 12 August 1986, I think everyone should
try to wade through it (until someone posts a good summary) since it
could affect ALL of us.  Be careful, because just reading it you might
think "Wow, this is good for us".  You'll have to read it again more
carefully to see that the text EXPLICITLY makes it illegal to receive
scrambled or encrypted signals, or signals carried on a subcarrier, EVEN
IF it is otherwise readily accessible to the general public --- eg.
VideoText or closed captioning!!!!!!
