| reply to SR_USER bankrupt or not, I believe a company has to operate under the policies it sets forth unless it a) sends out a modification of policy or b) ceases to operate as that company. if b occurs and you get spam, then you track down the -individual- in that company who sold it and procecute under the CAN spam act. It would really be no different than suing the Spam King. -- "WHEN THE LAUGH TRACK STARTS THEN THE FUN STARTS!" |

IANAL, but the author is. And he represents me. -- SBC is the world's second-largest SpamHaus and leads an Organized Crime Syndicate. Also see TURN.org or UCAN. |

Yeah, "LawMage" said as much back on Page 2, citing the Toysmart case. Still, that case rested in part on child protection. I see your link (I only read the Google cached version to avoid possible PDF infection) centers mostly on security breaches rather than violations by the provider itself, but they do get into privacy policy issues about page 24 or so.
It's good to see violators are held accountable in a few circumstances, although it does seem to center more around "false advertising" than any real, accountable set of rules for abiding customer privacy or adhering to a "privacy policy" -- whatever that actually is. In other words, the "privacy policy" isn't necessarily any more meaningful or enforceable than a banner on the web site reading "we have the shiniest equipment". It seems to be treated as merely another form of published ad or promise. So I hope that's enough. Thanks for the link...

I've received a US mail from Vonage indicating I was a former Sunrocket customer and I can jump to Vonage with a promo. I have never received mailers from Vonage in the past. |
