'Its EU law (it also covers text - ie mobile phones).
But as 99% of spam comes from outside the EU, its not going to be much use. Also, its going to be a real pain tracing it back to somone, then taking them to court.

Does this law apply to non-commercial email as well?

How is sending unsolicet emails CRIMINAL??? I agree it's out of hand.. but if it's to be considered criminal in a court of law than so should cold calls and junk mail.

This was on Polish TV tonight - They did a piece on this San Diego (I think) guy using a Chinese proxy host - Whithin seconds, they had this American's home address -
Which spammers come from where? 1 United States 2 China 3 South Korea 4 Brazil 5 Argentina 6 Canada 7 Taiwan 8 Italy 9 Russia 10 India Quite funny to think most USA webmasters want to blame Russians for being the biggest spammers! |
