Telemarketers Sue to Block Do-Not-Call List

Posted by michael on from the delaying-tactics dept.

chumpieboy writes "A story on Yahoo tells about about the DMA's attempts to stop a national DoNotCall list, essentially claiming that Opt Out is not a viable model for telemarketers. Yet they claim that Opt Out is a viable model for email marketing?"

    Wow your career in script writing is about to get started. This is about as funny as fucking genital herpes, but please, keep the laughs rolling in.

    I especially like how you give us the CAMERA SHOTS to boot. Because the shitty content wasn't enough, we have useless directions that are meaningless to most of the audience.

    How is this funny? Its not even correct.

    First of all, telemarketing, though annoying, is still legal in the United States.

    Secondly, these are legimiate businessmen that are trying to protect their business from a perceived danger - a procedure that they believe damages their business.

    This is nothing like other industries that look to the government to prop themselves up, like you so falsely claim. This is a group of business men engaging in legal activities that are trying to protect their businesses. We have praised this type of activity in the past, why not now?

    This is typical /. hypocrisy - fight the power with any means possible, but complain loudly when the power fights back with the same weapons.
