Microsoft Fights to Weaken Washington Anti-Spam Law

An anonymous reader writes "According to the Seattle Times, Microsoft (probably their MSN arm) is pushing for a change in at least Washington's anti-spam law. Some analysts claim that the changes contain holes that will allow Microsoft to be exempt from the law." Odd that Microsoft is simultaneously trying to stop spam sent to Hotmail users, and to make sure that it can send unsolicited commercial email without penalties.

I received a spam today from C. Thomas Powell [drnewsletter789@msn.com] aka 4.33.208.73. Now why do you think he would have his computer HDD's shared to the world. How do you stop this from going on.
