Does this only apply to spammers mailing TO CA residents, or spammers residing in CA?

Had the law taken effect it would apply both to spammers residing in CA and/or people being spammed in CA

Ok that makes more sense now. Thanks

Yeah they quietly did away with the 120 day grace period to the Can-Spam law & made its actual effective date the first.

The marketing association guys called in their favors again in order to avoid any problems with California.

true.... until they end up in Chinese prisons.

Not a nice place to be in. No parole. Hard labor. Plus if you die, your organs get 'harvested'

they'll spam anyways, law or no law.

If your reffering to the CAN-SPAM law the "Tag System" hasnt been implemented yet which means you dont have to specify "ADV, PORN" etc.

I don't think it will work... but time will tell

I get just as much spam as I ever did - the law is bs thus far imo

**Kimmykim** · 01-02-2004, 01:32 PM

Going to be nearly impossible to get nonUS folks compliant with US laws anyway.

Delete key works really well I think.

**Brad Xtremepay** · 01-02-2004, 01:33 PM

That's what I have always said too, Kimmy.

I learned a long time ago not to waste my time bitching about spam and other stuff like it that's so mindless to get rid of. I waste my time now bitching about lots of other stuff ;-}}}}}

Me too, very simple to check mark some boxes and hit the delete button. If you have problems doing so you are a dyslexic mongloid.

Oh thank god... there ARE more people out there that agree with me. I thought I was on my own.
