Looks like everyone is on vacation.
Not everyone sees it this way.
More on a case and opinion previously noted on
this site. It’s a useful short version or recap for those who
didn’t follow the case. Max Miller reports:
A
trio of Wyoming Supreme Court decision released Dec. 19 have
established an avenue for plaintiffs to collect damages for privacy
invasion in the Cowboy State for the first time.
In
the cases, Casper area residents Steve Winn, Audrey Kinion and
Gretchen Howard had separately filed suit against defendant Aaron’s
Sales and Leasing, franchised by Aspen Way Entertainment, Inc.
The
rent-to-own company had invaded their privacy, the plaintiffs
asserted, by renting them laptop computers which came with software
pre-installed to track physical location, monitor key-strokes,
capture screen shots and remotely activate the devices’ webcams.

[From
the article:
First in Natrona County Circuit Court, and then in
Wyoming’s Seventh District Court before judge Catherine Wilking,
Aspen Way argued successfully that Wyoming law recognizes no such
right to privacy and therefore the consumers lacked standing to sue.
The Supreme Court decision reverses those
findings, and sends the cases back to Circuit Court for further
adjudication.
The decision, written by Justice William Hill, due
to retire in February, finds that many other jurisdictions recognize
a right to privacy even in the absence of specific legislation
codifying such a right.
Anything here suggest they won’t keep doing it?
