Spammers Lose Court Battle Against Univ. of Texas

Posted by timothy on from the eyes-of-texas-aren't-upon-you dept.

voma writes "The University of Texas didn't violate the constitutional rights of an online dating service when it blocked thousands of unsolicited e-mails, a federal appeals court panel ruled Tuesday. White Buffalo Ventures, which operates LonghornSingles.com, had appealed to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, saying it had complied with all anti-spam laws."

    What if the post office refused to deliver bulk mail for certain organizations? Same principle.

    In addition, the students are paying for email as part of their fees. But, without their consent, the university is not delivering all of their mail, thus depriving them of service for which they paid.

    It is good though that you have claimed for the last time that "SPAM IS NOT A FREE SPEECH ISSUE".
