It is actually illegal–it’s theft of physical AND intellectual property.

This is awesome. One would think that this is the kind of thing that you don't openly advertise for. Ask a Manager’s last blog post..don't mention your "affluent family" in your cover letter

“It’s legal!! because it’s in the waste container” – maybe in WI; But not in New Jersey.

I tried to google the case that made the news quite a few years ago but could not find it. If I remember correctly it involved a reporter going through someone’s trash to find credit card receipts, phone records, pill bottles, or something like that. The NJ court found that the reporter was in the wrong to assume that trash was “free for the taking.” The court ruled that when people place trash in closed containers (including opaque plastic bags) until being picked up by the waste removal company they are expecting a certain level of privacy. This expectation of privacy does not disappear simply because they are throwing the stuff out.

You’re right. I also hear a Law & Order episode coming on with this; a dead body for the main murder investigation and a side plot about privacy rights. I can already hear Munch and Tutuola bantering the pros and cons of the privacy issue!
