This has absolutely nothing to do with the control of free speech. What would you say if I decorate your garden with hundreds of papers with what so ever written on it and proclaiming that's my right of free speech? - The point is, that anyone might have the right for free speech, unless he compromises the privatesphere of other individuals. If I don't want adverts via snail mail, it's enough to stick a button on my letter box, that says "Adverts forbidden", I can't do this via email. In addition receiving spams via email does cost my money to download them. If I do want spams, I can subscribe to their newsletters.
Therefore spams via email, fax and phone calls shall be forbidden as it is in most european states. - And this works! I rarely recieve spams from european companies (i am resided in EU), but tons of spam from the US and Canada.
I wonder whether or not I can fight US spammers with european laws?
