Senate Once Again Backs Stringent Penalties for Spam Senders
by bucy at 1:32 pm EDT, Jun 20, 2003

] WASHINGTON, June 19 — Fueled by rising frustration with
] the growing commercial clutter in e-mail in-boxes, an
] antispam bill was voted out of committee today for the
] first time during this Congressional session.

I think this bill may actually turn out to be agreeable; some of its precursors have had 1st ammendment problems. My party line now is that abusive spam (forged headers) should be put under existing fraud statutes, etc. We'll see what happens now. Even the Direct Marketing Association is starting to come around here!
