1.15. 3.9-3.11, 3.16

1.15
a)The people are interpreting the right being claimed as a positive right because he is imposing the obligation on the insurance company that they are obligated to pay for his viagra, in order to insure he has a happy sex life. This should be a positive right because it is in an obligation for the insurance to company to provide this man with medication, in this case viagra.
b) The people are interpreting the right being claimed as a negative right because they are saying that the ads that criticized them impeded their rights to act peacefully without interference. The ad organizations were interfering with his right to hold office. This should be a negative right because the ad organizations are interfering with this mans right to run peacefully without interference.

3.9
The online bookseller that provided the email service was not respecting its users privacy by saving their emails and analyzing them. In this case this is illegal because it is accessing their personal information, and unless they were informed and provided their consent for the email service to do this in something like a terms of use section, this is not legal.

3.10
The worst threat that the act is supposed to protect us from is the threat of people being able to steal things from internet companies. The arguments against this act that are the strongest is that it allows the government to access our communications which should be private. This means they are not respecting our right to privacy.

3.11
Carnivore is needed because of differences in the technology of old-time analog phones and modern email, and that interception email is more difficult now than telephones were. The main threats from it are that when the system is installed on the computer, the FBI can extract anyone's mail. There is insufficient protection to prevent the violation of the Fourth Amendment and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act.

3.16
The right to send email in encrypted form means as a negative right that people have the right to send their emails without interference and have the right to encrypt them so they cannot be interfered with. As a positive right it means that the people have a right to have people not be able to read their emails by having the right to encrypt them.
