[ga] Supreme Court Lets Virginia Anti-Spam Law Die

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  Seems Spam is alive and well in Virginia. Will other US states
follow suit?  In any event the old Networksolutions ad-spam
may begin showing up in your in box again soon, as per pre
1999.   For those of you that are 1st Amendment and
Constitutionally minded as am I, it seems that the 1st amendment
remains supreme, if you'll pardon the pun.  >:)  Next, P2P and
defining abusive Domain names and gTLD's!  Will the 1st
amendment arguments thus far established for combating anti
spam laws provide impetus?   Perhaps.

Oh yes, I guess now GoDaddy can now send it's Email spam
ad's out with an even more scantily clad GoDaddy girl incorporated
into the ad as well.

SpuriousLogic sends in a CNN report that begins "The Supreme Court has
 http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/03/30/scotus.anti.spam/index.html
passed up a chance to examine how far states can go to restrict
unsolicited e-mails in efforts to block spammers from bombarding
computer
users. The high court without comment Monday rejected Virginia's appeal
to keep its Computer Crimes Act in place. It was one of the toughest
laws
of its kind in the nation, the only one to ban noncommercial as well as
commercial spam e-mail to consumers in that state. The justices'
refusal to intervene also means the conviction of prolific commercial
spammer Jeremy Jaynes will not be reinstated." Jaynes remains behind
bars
because of a federal securities fraud conviction unrelated to the matter

of spamming.
