For purposes of this subsection, "disclose" means sell, manufacture, give, provide, lend, trade, mail, deliver, transfer, publish, distribute, circulate, disseminate, present, exhibit, advertise or offer.

Commits a civil trespass on property with the intent to overhear or observe any person in a private place; B.
