Stronger Anti-Spam Law Proposed
NumberField writes "The fight against Spam is making for some strange bedfellows. A new bill sponsored by Senator
Charles Schumer (D-NY)
and the right-wing Christian Coalition
that would let individuals sue spammers for $1000 per message. What isn't clear is how they will define spam broadly enough to outlaw it, but narrowly enough to avoid making it a bonanza for lawyers. For more information, see Schumer's
fact sheet (PDF), or his
press release." Update: 06/13 14:20 GMT by M : The draft bill (pdf) is available.
They too get spam, you know (or they'll make sure they'll get it.)
When right-wing religious groups start supporting something I believe in I always have to re-evaluate my belief.
Dude, I feel the Nigerian spammers already trembling;o))))....
1. No sig. 2. ???? 3. Profit!!!
Why don't they just pray it away?
In that case I see a whole new oppertunity to annoy your competitors by sending spam for his products - and see him be sued to death!
28 days ?
On which criteria do you base this figure ? Your sister's period ?
Sorry, we're in 2003 and we're discussing Internet communication, here : 48 hours would just be long enough : we're discussing spam, here : if they can enlarge my penis within one week and lose me 20 pounds within 2, then they can forget me in 2 days...
Trolling using another account since 2005.
IT WORKS!! BELIEVE ME!!!!!! Here is what you have to do: check your INBOX and look for unwanted mail, no matter who send it to you. AND THEN SUE THE PERSON WHO MAILED YOU AND SEND ME A MERE 1% OF THE AMOUNT YOU RECEIVE!!
Everytime you do this, it adds $990 to your account. I couldn't believe it either until the $$$ started to flow my way! My wife does it, and now we have no more financial worries!!!!!!!!
Don't feel left out, check your inbox today and start to make money!!!!
By the way, this mail is not spam. No, Sir. Honest. It just a one-time mailing. Really. Trust me.
My cats ate my karma. They also wrote this comment.
You've just inspired me. I'm going to start up an Internet business using direct spam marketing to sell tin foil hats.
Not only have you demonstrated there is a market for them, but that the target consumers are afraid of any laws to stop the messages.
The Internet is generally stupid
SINGLE country
Nigeria?
