Does the Law Legitimize Spam?
The argument has been raised that this law legitimizes Spamming, since it allows certain types of Spam. This is not the case. Just as the statute on murder does not allow you to drive without a license, this law allows NO BEHAVIOR! It merely prohibits two types of behavior. If an action does no fall under this statute, that does not mean it is allowed or can not be regulated by other means. While this may not be the law that commands a Writ of Execution for Spammers that some people want to see, it is still the most effective piece of legislation ever passed in America that addresses this growing problem.
