California Could Get $500/Offense Spam Law

Posted by timothy on from the good-luck-collecting-any dept.

Bud Higgins writes "CNN has a story about a law the California Senate passed which will allow people to sue spammers for $500 per unwanted email. This is one of the strictest anti-spam measures in the country and will set a precedent for other states to follow." This bill needs to pass the state assembly and the governor to become a law, though.

    Somehow I don't think this law will impress the people of Hong Kong when I show up to claim the keys of the city.
