And how will you tell those legit opt-out links from the less-than-legit ones? Answer: You won't and it will still be easier to just delete (or filter) the spam. Of course, now spammers might claim that their messages are legal and try to use the legal system to force the ISPs to let their spam through. (Not that they'd win. I think the CAN SPAM act specifically allows ISPs to filter e-mails, but how many ISPs would cave at the mere threat of a lawsuit?)
I have asked this same question before and your absolutely right. First the money sucking lawyer is going to have a field day taking ISP's to court for blocking emails cause this Act says all emails are legitimate. Then the money sucking lawyer will start going after the companies and programmers that create programs to block emails. I mean let's be real, you can't block a email before stating you didn't want it in the first place.
Of course the computer user has no real recourse if the computer wants to put a stop to the unwanted spam. Who do we go to if we keep getting bombarded with emails? We can't go to a lawyer to put stop to it cause the DMA made sure we can't do that. Once again the people, the computer user, the people that the politicians suppose to represent, gets the shaft. |
