I live in Tennessee, United States.
There's a guy who, in the past, I've had heated arguments with online. This was years ago. Even though I no longer respond to this guy, I still track his inflammatory statements. I noticed that this guy is trying to turn his inflammatory statements into a side business (YouTube Ads, Patreon giving levels, etc.). He's even giving away a new iPhone to a lucky YouTube subscriber. You can donate to hear more hateful statements about blacks, women, foreigners, etc. from this guy.
So I noticed that one of his videos mentions a way to contact him via email. The domain name that he rattles off doesn't go anywhere. In fact, no one owns the domain. The video is two weeks old at this point and he hasn't seemed to notice. The domain name itself doesn't relate his name, company name, or to anything he's talked about in the past either. It's all very weird.
So I bought the domain ($9 per year) and redirect it to the website of family planning clinic near his home town. I also signed up for an email account using the email address that he tells everyone to use. Now I'm reading email intended for him. I also bought the privacy options so there is very little chance that he discovers that it was me (he argues with lots of people).
I've been reading emails for a month now. I haven't responded to any. Is all of this legal? I think it is. I know he's going to blow his lid when he finds out (which is kind of the point). I want to give him one less avenue for dispensing his hateful rhetoric.
