What about spam, spam, spam, spam, sausages and spam?

Internet "spammers" who flood e-mail inboxes with pornography and get-rich-quick schemes could face jail time and million-dollar fines under the bill, which passed by a vote of 97 to 0.
97-0? Looks like that AH PAC was good for something after all.

If you want to stop spam then stop the internet... cannot be done...

the "do-not-spam" registry will be the most sought after ACTIVE email address list the spammers will want to get their hands on
the only thing that'll kill spam is email postage

LoL! didnt think about this!! People will jump in to their office with guns blazing for this...

Why can't it be done?
They stopped Cold Calling.
Why notrequire all unsolicited e-mail to have the letters [UNSOL] in the subject line? Then we can have our filters eliminate it?
Why is spamming different than cold calling?

Why can't it be done?
Its the nature of the internet... you know technique... Everything they do to try to stop it can be broken...
Thats djust how things work. Too much money involved.

I have not received a single spam email in many months.
The trick is to have two accounts. A serious personal one that you only give to people who you trust (will not send you forwards and ****) and the other you use for filling out online forms and such things.
You can avoid spam if you are net-smart.

I was thinking the exact same thing!
And the Spammers will probably move off shore too, out side of US jurisprudence. At which ISP have the option of blocking all IP traffic... will be interesting to see where this goes.
When you read the article, you'll see the law is not banning spam... one of the requirements is that the subject lines are not "misleading..."
This means, that the courts will then have to decide what "misleading..." means.
I'm hopeful something good will come out of this...
Like cheaper viagra pills with out a doctor's visit... or a better noodle enlargment system... free sex with neighborhood women(no wait they are ugly...) free sex with college co-eds ... and lower credit card interest rates.. realestate deals... and my favorite, debt consolidation.
