Yippee - now the rest of the world.............

Well seeing as most of the worlds spam comes from about 200 people, mostly
from the US, and one town in Florida is known as the Spam Capital of the
World it has to be excellent news if the law is worded correctly and
policed.

Trouble is the US wanted an "Opt Out" law unlike the EU which wants an "Op
In" law, I'm not sure about this present bill though. One thing is, it would
be illegal for them to hide their ID as they do now.

Any control must be better than now, we get about 100 spam's per day.

Anti-spam legislation has been enacted by Parliament and comes into
force early - middle of December. It becomes some sort of an offence to
disseminate it.

However, just who is going to investigate complaints and how they could
have any effect on spam from abroad is a mystery.

Perhaps they want to create jobs for several thousand new civil servants?
