California Spam Law: Won't Stop Spam,
Will Increase Lawsuits


California Spam Law: Won't Stop Spam,
Will Increase Lawsuits
11/14/2003 07:29 PM
I hate spam and would like nothing better than to see an effective anti-spam law put on the books. However, as I've said before, the California anti-spam law is not the right law. Plenty of others seem to agree, and everyone believes that the law won't stand up if tested in court. The problem is what do people do until it's been tested? The other question is who is going to take on this law. Luckily, it won't be the Direct Marketing Association, who I don't trust in the slightest. They say they've burned up all their resources fighting the "Do Not Call" list. At a conference among email marketers, some were suggesting that they should file their own lawsuits under the bill in order to purposely clog the court system with such lawsuits. This seems like typical bad marketing thinking that overburdening a system somehow gets extra attention. The right response is that someone who gets sued for doing something that clearly is not spam is going to have to go to court and get the law overturned. Maybe (and this would be the best) it happens to someone who is not associated with an "email marketing" company, but just someone who sends a perfectly reasonable email and gets hit with a lawsuit.

The page is shown off in IE which isn't too much of a surprise, but the big surprise is that it's in OS 9! With the 5th version of OS X about ready to ship, Newsweek seriously needs an upgrade.

Newsweek Discovers Smartphones, Confuses
Them With PCs
06/02/2004 01:38 PM

newsweek_phones.jpg imageAlthough it took them three writers to do it, Newsweek takes a look at the smartphone trend, trying to pose the seemingly deep question "Will Phones Replace PCs?" while blissfully ignoring the fact that the only possible answer is, you know, 'maybe.' That's some thought-provocation right there. Still, there's some good stuff in the article, like a stop-smoking program that sends encouraging messages to Japanese students, and (hypothetical?) examples of two single people hooking up in a bar using Symbian Dater.

Which reminds me, I've been meaning to ask if any of you have been hooking up via these social mobile applications like Symbian Dater or Dodgeball. And I don't just mean 'hooking up with your friends.' I mean, 'hooking your interface meats up to anonymous or recently met humans.' If you send me something put [MobiHump] or something in the subject so my spam filter doesn't eat it.
