@32 you can’t really say the americans invented the internet. Arpanet yes but the internet no. It is fair to say that without the americans the internet wouldn’t have happened when it did. And by ‘internet’ you probably mean the web, which of course is a brit invention.

Instead of slamming the judge we should be applauding him! And we Brits need to be real quiet on this one, at least the bloody colonials HAVE a written right to freedom of speech.

The judge struck a blow for the freedom of all americans to use their constitutional rights. If some american feels the need to send out 10 million “Save Barney The Dinosaur” emails then that must be allowed.

Sure in this case the guy was a commercial spammer (DIE YOU SCUM) but its better that one spammer go free then someone else have their constitutional rights impinged.

There is a big difference between sending an email to 12 friends and a bulk email to thousands. The law may need to be re-stated, but it was not silly in practical use. The real problem is the law cannot allow discretion to be applied in this case. Everthing has to be spelled out in black and white because morons would file suits and their lawyers would manipulate the gray area with legal rhetoric. I worked for the 23rd largest lawfirm in the US for 2 yrs and have been in the VA Supreme Court several times to enter evidence. Trust me, most lawyers are scumbags! That is… until they get you out of trouble In all fairness, they can’t do anymore than the law allows whether it’s ethical or not.

@10

It costs us millions to go back and forth in the legal system and make this a state issue. This should be at the federal level and stay there. Otherwise, how would you spam Virginians an not the other 49 states? You can’t. It has to be handled at the country level. So yes, it costs us millions in legal fee’s.

It costs us thousands in Antispam tools at the corporate level.

its costs us countless hours to rifle through fake, malicious and misleading emails.

How does this affect RSLog? is RSLog Spam? Does 12 people constitute as spam? No. We are talking tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of emails with information you don’t need. So don’t play “The constitution” this or that little boy, because you are doing what lawyers do. Placing cases in endless loops where nothing gets done, ever.
