Some of the state laws in the U.S. are stronger than the Federal Government's laws.
In Georgia where I live, there is a pretty good law for this type of thing: http://www.gov.state.ga.us/press/2005/press765.shtml Now, interestingly, I've recently taken on several different law firms as mail hosting clients... and... JUST A FEW DAYS AGO... just about all the attorneys in all of these law firms got slammed with some kind of newsletter about law that I'm 100% positive that NONE of them had subscribed to. It **looked** fairly legit... but was sent from some company in Nevada. What is more interesting is that the newsletter even boasted in a banner at the top "this newsletter is being sent to xx thousand attorneys in Georgia."... (and I think they sent to all of them on the same day) Also, to make this more interesting, they kept sending it again and again. ALL of these were just barely being caught by my spam filter... and when my spam filter "just barely" catches something, it gives the sending server an "OK" response code... so as far as they could possibly know, ALL of these were being received each of the several times they kept sending them! Add all this up and I'm quite sure that they had to be violating that law in Georgia. But suppose I **could** prove that they were in violation of that law in Georgia, would there be ANY financial motivation or reward for me to sue them... (assuming that I won in court)? If not, I simply don't have the financial resources to put my company and myself through such an ordeal. I would go out of business for lack of focus on the things that I need to concentrate on. Any thoughts.... Rob McEwen PowerView Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED]
