The word is derived from mixed Latin and Greek roots, meaning "far seeing" (Greek τῆλε "tele," meaning far, and Latin "visus," meaning seeing).

So the way the law is written you were NOT recieving telecommunications nor broadcasting or watching a movie, you were data logging. Just tell the judge you werent looking at it.
