What's gonna happen next is if your business ends up being promoted via spam you'll end up having to pay a fine whether you approved it or not.

I love how the US government seems to think the internet is confined to American borders.

Spam is going to get worse and worse until new technology stops it.

Maybe instead of trying to pass spam laws, the government should just pump money into an anti-spam technology project. I'm sure within a few months they'd have a solution.

You got that right! Why doesn't the government do something about junk mail? Trees being cut, landfills being stuffed with this fucking garbage and they go after E-MAIL because it's annoying. What a crock of shit.

I would be happy if they killed all the nasty childporn spam. (or any spam with illegal subjects).
