When a person acts in an official role with approval from their superiors (or at least no official disapproval), or if an official policy is written or enforced, then yes, it is customary to say that the corporation / school / government is the one which acted. The courts will often ask the entity to make amend. And the entity will then turn against their employee. If one person managed to gain access to the camera regardless of the current policies, and used that access for personal gain then the person is at fault. If the network and machines were set up according to the school standards,and those standards enable spying, and if a director or principal officially reprimanded a student based on picture taken while spying in their home, then the school is at fault. -- Yves. http://www.sollers.ca/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
