CAN-SPAM law...what a JOKE! - GoFuckYourself.com

BossHawg · 01-01-2004, 01:23 PM

Well I guess this CAN-SPAM law is gonna be abused like crazy. The first day it is considered a law we get a call from somebody at our offices threatening lawsuits. Seems like they were just subscribing to our ezines WAITING for this DAY.

What a joke this is all gonna be. FIrst day and already 1 threatened lawsuit. Guess my lawyers will be busy this new year as this CAN-SPAM law is surely gonna be the result of many frievlous lawsuits trying to cash in on the new law and what better companies to go after than porn companies.

To all the people who plan to sue me, HAPPY FUCKEN NEW YEAR TO YOU TOO ASSHOLES AND GFY!

It's a well known fact - lawyers make better lovers - they fuck everybody

xanx · 01-01-2004, 01:28 PM

it's sad but a lot of people have found it's easier to sue and make money rather than actually work for it. Our civil justice system in this country needs a huge overhaul.

Yep..gonna meet with my lawyer to go over my options on all this. All in all this really SUCKS.

That guy who called me must have been one LONELY lawyer just waiting for the 1st of the new year to come to make some calls haha

Juicy D. Links · 01-01-2004, 01:37 PM

See the problem is that any jerkoff and his lawyer can pay the filing fee ans serve you and such...... now no matter how stupid the lawsuit is and youknow has no merit you still have to pay your lawyer to defend it. So there goes a few g's and after some postponements and motions and other shit they do its afew months and nothing got settled. Also the stress and the bullshit and such..... As you can see I hate lawyers with passion

There is a 120 day grace period for one thing. For another I thought they put the right to sue only in the hands of the government?

Yeah he started talking shit like
"I am going to contact the FTC, state attorney general, bla bla bla"

Fun times ahead I can already see it.

the CAN-SPAM LAW!

Brad Xtremepay · 01-01-2004, 02:02 PM

Dude that totally sucks... hopefully this isn't the beggining of a new trend of lawsuits.

Nice sig

Naw no need to rough him up, he is helpless and after reading over the law some more I do believe we have 120 day grace period AND as I read in one article:

"Who would enforce these provisions? The federal law does not allow individual e-mail users to sue spammers. Instead, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), other federal agencies, Internet Service Providers , and state attorneys general can sue on behalf of Internet users. "

So he personalyl can not sue me BUT I do not think I want to be on a watch list of the FTC's or any other federal agency

Paul Markham · 01-01-2004, 02:12 PM

Don't you wish you did not live in the land of the free?

The US has more lawyers training in college than any other profession. That's why useless ones end up pulling the patent scam.

teenjump · 01-01-2004, 02:15 PM

I would never become a lawer just because of the rep they have.

This is true. Even though you know you did nothing wrong, you have to waste time and resources to fight it multiplied by the number of sue-happy morons that come forward.

Hopefully frivolous lawsuits such as this will get thrown out quickly to discourage further abuse of the CAN-SPAM law. Wishful thinking I know

TheJimmy · 01-01-2004, 02:26 PM

I have 3 syllables for fuckwits like that...

counter-suit!

for harrassing you after they opted in to YOUR list...

that's like calling me up, giving me your phone number, asking me to call you then saying you'll sue me when I call....

hostey_com · 01-01-2004, 03:08 PM

Yeah, any porn company wants to move to Brazil? We are safe here... I can help you out

- AFN - · 01-01-2004, 03:17 PM

What's FUCKED about that law is that it authorizes SO MANY people to sue you for so many sections in the law. Its like WWF Free For All.

The sad part is the law requires accurate header and subject line info. If mailers do this, then they get blocked, filtered, ignored. Fucked if you do... Fucked if you don't...

Welcome to CAN SPAM.

Why don't you guys just comply with the CAN-SPAM law?! It's not like you weren't warned or something?

Or is the law impossible to comply with our industry ?

he and MANY already are and have been complying, he's referring to some asswipe that thinks that now there is a 'law' against spamming he can just randomly sue people that email him EVEN if he actually opted-in to a newsletter....

is it impossible for people to READ in our industry?

- AFN - · 01-01-2004, 04:20 PM

Plus keep in mind that they are looking to "make an example"

Hopefully the rumors about Yahoochat and profiles section are not true.

Welcome to CAN SPAM.

That, I do understand why people are pissed when they still receive e-mails from people trying to fuck your filter. I put a fucking filter not to receive it, why would I want to open it and buy that fucking product..

It would be like filtering calls from newspaper companies, but they still find a way to call me anyway.. Like yeah

"Allright, you succeeded and reached me anyway.. Now I will buy your fucking newspaper please!"

Just another reason to move business off shore.

I think the US is declaring war on its own people at this point.

Seen pics of Vegas recently? Guns on the street corners? WTF is that about? If Terrorists were going to do somthing a Gunner on every corner aint gonna do shit but die or shoot civilians while they run from an explosion.
