Re: GEN: N.H. courts allows turn over of Internet logs

[Diane Guiett <guiett.1@OSU.EDU>]

The network that we had at my former school last year kept a record of who
logged into what site. That was the way we could determine who was
accessing what. There were some sites that students were going to and not
fessing up. Each student is given a unique code when they provide their AUP
form from their parents.

SO it is possible for the network to provide that information to the
parents. Bu can they legally have it? That is for the courts to decide.
What if they are over 18? Interesting question.
