    Fake Yahoo Profiles -- covered by CAN SPAM?

    Russian scripters say NO, but any liberal wannabe Thurgood Marshall judge could easily extend coverage to this money maker.
    Since these are so blatantly fake. Same with fake dating site profiles.

    What's your spin?

She’s not mine. She’s His little girl, and she needs me to fight for her by keeping my eyes where they should be."

                  And no, they can't make the current law fit that. It has absolutely nothing to do with bulk email.

                          Fake adult profiles with links to clickcash sites or pornsite landing pages. They generate tons of these and put them in the yahoo dating site, groups, mboards, tons of places.

                              Yahoo profiles have nothing to do with spam.

                                              That's true, since the profile is tied to an ID which is tied to an email.
