First Lawsuits Filed under Missouri's No-Spam Law

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the told-ya-we'd-shoot dept.

darksoulz writes "The St. Louis Business Journal is reporting that Jay Nixon, Missouri's attorney general, has filed the first lawsuits under the new no-spam law against two Florida spammers. The law doesn't totally prohibit spam, it just requires that the subject line be tagged to let consumers know that it is an advertisement. One of the lawsuit recipients even managed to spam an address maintained by the attorney general's office."

    Missouri is not really known for it's great minds, and even more disturbing is the abundance of hillbillies and "mountain folk" in the state. "aw sure we can stop spam, we'll just take em ta court here in misera and sue 'em". unfortunately that is probably the response from most..... god help us.
