Australian Anti-Spammer Wins Court Case

Posted by timothy on from the and-this-is-the-nice-way-too dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Australian court system upheld the right of internet activists to campaign against junk email in a landmark decision today. Story from The Australian." Sounds like the spammers (T3 Direct, of Perth) were justly told off.

    So the case was decided on the common law after all. That's a relief, if WA was entirely code-based, I should have known about it. Western Australia may have been nearly colonized by the French, but that doesn't mean it has to adopt their heathen legal system :-P.
    We don't want to start a debate on this one, do we? Although it would sure be fun ;)
