CAN-SPAM Is A Bust

Doc Ruby writes "The Congressional chatter about 'canning spam', in the CAN-SPAM law since January, has turned out to really mean 'they can still spam'. TechWeb News reports that 'In July, compliance fell for the first time under one percent to a measly 0.54 percent', from its 3% max. The researchers claim the ball has been dropped by 'law enforcement'. Those police are probably too busy deleting the 80% spam from their email, like everyone else."

proposed amendment to CAN-SPAM

[erroneus]

I propose they add a vigilante provision that allows anonymous receivers of SPAM to seek out and beat the shit out of anyone found to be sending SPAM.

You mean criminals aren't abiding by the law?

Well, I for one, am shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

Let it be shouted from the rooftops

Those police are probably too busy deleting the 80% spam from their email, like everyone else. This qualifies as a DDoS if I am not mistaken ;)

speeders are real criminals. they endanger other people's lives

So do the nitwits who drive 15MPH slower than the flow of traffic. I don't give a fuck if the sign on the side of the road says 55, if the average flow of traffic is going 70, then if you are driving 55 you are JUST AS DANGEROUS as someone driving 85, if not more so.

If you want to talk about the real dangerous drivers, let's talk about the assholes who yap on their cell phones the whole trip, or the dumbasses who spend all their time fucking with the radio or talking to their passenger instead of watching the road, or the shitheads who can't figure out how to use a fucking turn signal, or (my pet peeve) the fuckwads who can't maintain a safe following distance.
