CAN-SPAM Act Text by bucy at 2:28 pm EDT, Jul 7, 2004 |
] This Act may be cited as the `Controlling the ] Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of ] 2003', or the `CAN-SPAM Act of 2003'. I'm not sure if this was blogged here before. In addition to prohibiting sending SPAM, it also expressly (sec 6) prohibits you from promoting your business via spam, i.e. if you hire spammers, you're also in violation of the act. This seems like it could be a more fruitful avenue of enforcement -- prosecute the end-users of the "spam service" rather than the spammers themselves. |

Unfortunately this law also bans anonymous business transactions, such as services run behind remailers. |
