for them to realize how popular boobs on network TV are, so we can get more, power to them!
If they're not giving out any of my personal information, what do I care what they do with the aggregate data.
I'm all for privacy, but not to the ridiculous level of some of these posters. I swear some people must take alternate roads to avoid those car counting strips.
You just have to love press releases.
"The SCO(R) Group (SCO) (SCOX) , a leading provider of business software solutions, today announced..."
Who is it, exactly, that is following their lead? I know there are a lot of other companies swirling their way down the sides of the toilet, but wasn't aware they were following the lead of SCO.
Maybe SCO has a business model patent on this, and can extort licensing fees from other failing software companies. Imagine what that would do to their stock!
But there is a difference between legislating junk faxes and legislating spam.
In the case of junk faxes, almost all of them (used to) originate from inside the US, due to the prohibitive cost of setting up offshore. It's easy for the US to pass legislature governing an activity that can realistically only occur in the US.
In the case of email, unless we involve the UN or something crazy like this, spammer need only move offshore just out of reach of the long arm of the US law.
Unless we are going to pull an Iraq on every country that doesn't implement our spam/intellectualy property laws, this won't work.
