I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the article,whether or not there are Maryland cases interpreting the statue, or whether the statute has been amended since the article was written. But there are a number of legal wrinkles, such as, what is an intercept,what is an acquisition, etc., that make the legal issue unclear in this context(at least to me, a retired lawyer).
