I don't hate AIM, but I couldn't care less about AOL's so-called "policy".

After that article was published AOL PR struck back: http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/tech/blog/3082956

 

In a subsequent phone conversation, Weinstein said that AOL does not monitor AIM traffic, and does not store it. A record of an AIM communication is not saved in any storage medium at AOL, he said.

 

"AOL does not read person-to-person communications," he said flatly.

You guys don't need to freak out for your personal conversations. Sending the source code of a highly valuable program through AIM could prove to be a very unwise move, though. Or any other intellectual work that can be valuable.

If I understood right, that'd be like giving all copyrights on that to AOL.

I'll now be sure to add in every AIM convo of mine the words, "Steve Case makes love to horses."

AOL = America Online (ISP)

AIM = AOL Instant Messenger
