Send Email to Utah, Go to Jail

Posted by timothy on from the set-engines-to-ludicrous dept.

Talaria writes "The Institute for Spam and Internet Public Policy is reporting that two new laws in Utah and Michigan are going into effect next week, creating 'do not email' registries for children's email addresses. According to ISIPP, 'Email marketers who send unpermitted messages to email addresses or domains on the child protection registries in Michigan and Utah face stiff penalties including prison and fines.'" (Note that ISIPP has a vested interest in publicizing these laws, since they offer a service intended to establish that senders are in fact within the law.)

    Let's just say that they have a limited gene pool. A list of email addresses of their children may be an attempt to promote marriage outside the family. Pedo's encouraged to apply.
