You are correct in that the ADDRESSEE can chose to further distribute it.
The addressee can not assign the (prior) right to a 3rd party.
Google sole duty as an ISP is to read the Address and deliver to the proper inbox . The do not have the right to analyze (and store) the content for any other purpose other than delivery.
This is about their non-RIGHT to use MY content (implied copyright) in any other form (than delivery) without permission.
Do I expect total secrecy? No!
Do I expect Google to come by and open my paper mail? No!
Google cars travel my street.
Why would they have the right in one case and not the other?
My Mailbox is at the curb of the same street they drive, so why not read that mail? Huh! I see no difference. Just think. Google could buy out the flailing US Postal service and gain the right to analize ALL mail  |
So if ISP's can't analyse emails then all spam filters and antivirus-software that is not resident on your own PC can not be used, seems like a hell of a waste of bandwidth and time.
