Experts Question Calif. Anti-Spam Law
The new California law that targets unsolicited email stands little chance
of reducing the amount spam clogging Californians' email boxes. "There are
36 states with active anti-spam legislation today, and the spam problem has
not gone away," said Scott Petry, vice president of products and
engineering at the spam-blocking company Postini Inc. However, Governor
Gray Davis and state Senator Kevin Murray are confident that the law, which
will take effect January 1, 2004, is ironclad. "There are no loopholes, no
way of getting around it," proclaimed Murray, a Los Angeles Democrat. The
law allows Internet service providers and spam recipients to sue
advertisers and spam senders up to $1,000 per message or $1 million per
incident. Murray's legislation cites a Ferris Research study that says spam
will cost U.S. organizations more than $10 billion this year in lost
productivity and additional equipment, manpower and software. California's
share is estimated at $1.2 billion.
