Expect a new law within a year (none / 0) (#1)
by Anonymous User on Thu Dec 11, 2003 at 01:44:16 PM PDT

The proponents have been told in no uncertain terms just how insane this law is, but still insist it is wonderful. Meanwhile, anyone in their right mind that has dealt with spam will never willingly give a spammer (many of which now apparently working with virus writers) confirmation of their email address. The law is taking away some anti-spam tools, and those who actually believe spammers play fair and ask spammers to stop will soon find out quickly how wrong they are. After Congress has been suitably embarrassed they'll develop a rewritten law - while insisting it is merely improving on a good thing. We'll be saying "WE TOLD YOU SO!" Heh.
