Though getting junk mail isn't a crime so...
And there are laws to protect against out-right fraud, though not civil liability to the person receiving the e-mail, the system is just not equipped to dealing with the massive load that the Internet and E-mail brings. And yes, this is clearly an issue that the Federal government must act on and it is not up to the States to regulate commerce outside their borders but they happy to try to stop the conduct from occurring within their State, and as I understand it, it has been upheld that they can.
What will really stop spam is if stupid people receiving this crap will stop buying from them. I mean honestly, if no one signed up with AOL would they still send you 4 CDs a month in the mail?
no they would send 10cds and would give you first 3 month free.
