[ga] FYI: First Four People Charged Under CAN-SPAM Act

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All, especially Leah and Jefsey,

"Four people in Detroit have been charged with [1]emailing fraudulent 
sales pitches under the new federal [2]CAN-SPAM Law. 'They were 
accused of disguising their identities in hundreds of thousands of 
sales pitches and delivering e-mails by bouncing messages
through unprotected relay computers on the Internet.'"

  Could old existing or no longer used List servers that remain with
open or unprotected relays also find the owners or list managers on 
the wrong end of a legal action and face some time at the "Rubber 
pancake Hotel"?

  Should past executives, like those from Telstra, Paul Twomey's old
employer and a prolific Spam originator be dragged into court by
stakeholders/users fed up with receiving spam from those ISP's,
and also spend some time at the "Rubber pancake Hotel"?

  It would seem the answer's here are Definitely YES according to
recent trends and the lack of reducing Spam...

  But than again DOJ and DOC/NTIA will sit on these growing
in number complaints, and these folks will get a pass...  ????

 I know one thing for sure, I am tired of getting these Kiddy porn
spam Emails from Telstra email users...  :/
