<p><a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/business-26677607">BBC: Microsoft admits reading Hotmail inbox of blogger</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Microsoft is caught up in a privacy storm after it admitted it
read the Hotmail inbox of a blogger while pursuing a software leak
investigation.</p>
<p>While the search was technically legal, [Microsoft's deputy
general counsel] added Microsoft would consult outside counsel in
the future.</p>
</blockquote>

mean? </p>

is wrong. Yet another example.</p>
