Fed up with spammers? Take them to court!
"Safeguards should be provided for subscribers against intrusion of their
privacy by unsolicited communications for direct marketing purposes in
particular
by means of automated calling machine, telefaxes and email, including SMS
messages. These forms of unsolicited commercial communications may on the
one
hand be relatively cheap and easy to send and on the other may impose a
burden and/or cost on the recipient. Moreover, in some cases their volume
may also
cause difficulties for electronic communications networks and terminal
equipment. For such forms of unsolicited communications for direct
marketing, it
is justified to require that prior explicit consent of the recipients is
obtained before such communications are addressed to them."
