Re: fyi.. House Committee Passes Bill Limiting Spam E-Mail

[Kurt Weber]

 Well, spam is already legal.

 Personally, I have nothing against the legitimacy of spam.  I don't like
it,
 but I do believe that it should be legal.  If they want to outlaw
 telemarketing and junk mail, then they can outlaw spam.  Besides, because
of
 the nature of the Internet, if you outlaw spam, then the same person could
 send it from a locale where spamming IS legal.  It's impossible to
eradicate
 spam through legislation.
