WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 8, 2001 In a case testing the limits of privacy in a technology-driven age, judges on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals are fighting software that monitors viewing of music, video, pornography and other sites. The Administrative Office of the Courts, an agency which oversees the federal judiciary, has installed a program to monitor usage. The office says they are concerned employees are using government property for non-government purposes. But in May, the San Francisco-based court shut down the program. They say the concerns about safety and usage are overblown and that their privacy is at stake. The Judicial Conference of the United States, the governing body of the court system, will meet on September 11 to resolve the dispute. Get the Story:
