There is an exception in the ECPA which allows system management to monitor/
record traffic in tracing unlawful activities by users...

(I haven't read all of it yet, 53 pages of legalisims by congressmen who
 essentially know NOTHING about electronic communications... it wouldn't
 suprised me if it was held to prohibit charging for services, somewhere in
 the weird and idiotic phrasing... this law will be a major headache until
 repealed or rewritten...)
