1. Larry sends e-mail to the entire student body inviting them to a BYOB party at his house while his parents are out of town. Larry receives a message from a system administrator calling him in for a meeting with school officials. He objects because he feels that his e-mail is his own private business.

2. It seems like every time Brianna logs on to her account, Jared knows about it and sends messages that cover her screen with text. At first she thinks it is funny, but now it’s really starting to bother her. The messages reformat the text on her screen and, besides, it’s kind of creepy the way he always knows she’s logged on.

3. A secretary on the campus of a tax-supported university has been asked to give her staff password to her supervisor. The supervisor would like to check the secretary’s e-mail when she is not at work to see if departmental-related mail is coming in. The secretary is not comfortable giving her password to her supervisor, but is afraid to say no.

4. A group of older boys has found out Greg's email address and signed him up for pornographic web sites. When Greg goes to the library to check his email, his inbox is full of “verification” emails for these websites. Clicking on the “remove” link within these emails takes Greg to the sites themselves to unsubscribe--which also brings up detailed graphic images. Mr. Brownlee, one of the reference librarians, sees these images on Greg's screen, which are a violation of the library's Internet policy, and suspends Greg's Internet privileges for one month.
