RE: Save a Chat Log, Go to Jail
(sorry if i missed anything, i only read the first few posts)

I think that law is pretty weird really - I would have thought chat logging would be supported due to the fact it can be used for evidence, regardless of the privacy issue.

But because of this law in these states (which doesn't include me because I live in England ;)) I believe a safety measure should be taken.

I think at the start of the conversation, if logging is enabled, the user you're talking to should be notified that the chat session will be logged and that they consent to this if they wish to chat. (if they prefer not, get them to notify the person they're talking to, to disable the logging in that session).
A handy log on/off feature in Plus! would be good too, just to target specific conversations.

Or something along those lines would be good - even though its fine as it is now because MSN Messenger has the ability to log messages without the aid of Plus! so, yes, the user does acknowledge that they are using MSN and has to consent to the fact it CAN be logged.

Anyone like the idea though of flexiable logging?
