This Act supersedes any statute, regulation, or rule of a State or political subdivision of a State that expressly regulates the use of electronic mail to send commercial messages, except to the extent that any such statute, regulation, or rule prohibits falsity or deception in any portion of a commercial electronic mail message or information attached thereto.

This part is interesting, notice the "except to the extent" does this mean the state laws that outlaw use of false header info is enforceable? Kinda looks like it.

Also, even an offshore business can be sued in the U.S. read some of the States Long Arm Statutes. They provide for suing out of country businesses. And I bet most affiliate programs have some sort of assests in the U.S. just look at processing. They could serve Visa with a judgmenet enforcement and take all your money.
