Well, you can -report- pretty much anything, and Sympatico's ToS allow them to drop a user for pretty much any reason what-so-ever, but public posting of email is not an explicit ToS violation according to Sympatico's AUP. Copyright violation is, as I recall, somewhere in Sympatico's AUP, but Sympatico is not -likely- to act upon an email copyright issue. There is no DCMA in Canada, so there is no requirement for Sympatico to act upon any copyright issue until an injunction is filed [unlike in the USA, which in certain cases requires the ISP to act upon first notification.] When it comes to "issues of public interest", there is a non-trivial chance that a Canadian court would rule that publically posting a particular email message could be "fair use". In -most- cases, there is no commercial value to email, so in Canada the most a plaintiff in such a case could expect would be about $C25 in stat damages and an injunction not to do such a thing again. I've never heard of such a case being filed, so I would think it -likely- that Sympatico would deem that there was no -proven- copyright violation under Canadian law. -- Before responding, take into account the possibility that the Universe was created just an instant ago, and that you have not actually read anything, but were instead created intact with a memory of having read it.
