Well, looks like we can expect some federal spam legislation. Unfortunatley, from what I’ve read, it sounds like this legislation would replace any state laws (like the tough ones California had set to go into effect in January), and this new bill isn’t tough enough on spammers. Plus, it looks damn hard to enforce.
Spammers have to provide a mechanism for people to remove themselves from lists. Spammers can’t harvest addys from websites. Great, but how on EARTH would you every enforce those? Last I checked, actually using one of the “remove” instructions in a spam usually resulted in being marked as a legit email addy and flooded with even more spam. SHEESH!
But on the bright side, if you live in Seattle, Elvis can be your cabbie.
