Answer to Question 1

Two of the most well known federal statutes are the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) and the Privacy Protection Act (PPA).
The ECPA was essentially the modernization of the then obsolete wiretapping statute. The original code was written to protect the privacy of telephone conversations and simply did not cover the emerging technologies involved with Internet communications. Thus, the ECPA was born to codify when government could and could not intercept Internet and/or stored electronic communications (i.e. residing on a server). Another federal law, The Privacy Protection Act (PPA) also had many purposes, but the most applicable was the protection of certain materials from government seizure. The PPA arose because of perceptions that in seizing evidence, government entities were seizing materials that were not evidence and were not directly related to their particular criminal investigations.
