Getting List Spam To Go With Your Friend
Spam 03/23/2005 08:20 PM
This has been happening way too often lately. While "friend spam" is all too common, where a friend starts spamming you with annoying forwards, now people are complaining about "list spam" where people you meet put you on various mailing lists without your permission. Why is it that people simply assume you want to be on some sort of mailing list? Point them to the sign up and let them make the decision.

CAN-SPAM Law Tonight

Run a Mailing List? Better Check the
CAN-SPAM Law Tonight 12/31/2003 07:21 PM
I was just reading through some aspects of the CAN-SPAM law which goes into effect January 1, 2004, and realized that it is broadly applicable to normal email lists that have no ostensible commercial purpose. (Oddly, the bill was indexed incorrectly, so the key section -- number five -- is available only by scrolling down in Section 3.) That is, if you're running a regular email list that has links to a Web site that is commercial in nature (shows ads, sells a product, you make money in some fashion from it), you might need to comply with the requirements of the law. Note that I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. Discuss any specific issues about this with licensed legal talent! The law defines commercial electronic mail message as any electronic mail message the primary purpose of which is the commercial advertisement or promotion of a commercial product or service (including content on an Internet website operated for a commercial purpose). But if you only incidentally mention a Web site, you're okay: The inclusion of a reference to a commercial entity or a link to the website of a commercial entity in an electronic mail message does not, by itself, cause such message to be treated as a commercial electronic mail message for purposes of this Act if the contents or circumstances of the message indicate a primary purpose other than commercial advertisement or promotion of a commercial product or service. This makes it clearer and less clear, right? If you're sending out editorial email, like a newsletter, that has advertisements in it or sponsors, or you point to your Web site which itself has advertisements or sponsors -- if you're using Yahoo Groups to send messages out, even -- it would seem that a case could be made that you're sending commercial electronic mail messages. That said, complying with the law is pretty straightforward. In general, you have to have a legitimate return address with legitimate information in it. (5) INCLUSION OF IDENTIFIER, OPT-OUT, AND PHYSICAL ADDRESS IN COMMERCIAL ELECTRONIC MAIL- (A) It is unlawful for any person to initiate the transmission of any commercial electronic mail message to a protected computer unless the message provides-- (i) clear and conspicuous identification that the message is an advertisement or solicitation; (ii) clear and conspicuous notice of the opportunity under paragraph (3) to decline to receive...

This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone considering previou s comments by the FTC concerning the possibility of a "Do Not Email" or "Do Not Spam" list, but now the feds will officially say that they will not create such a list. They point out that it would be impossible to enforce without email authentication. If anything, it would be likely to increase the amount of spam sent as spammers will simply use the list as a way to get fresh addresses.

Three weeks later, the FCC made a major decision regarding cable set-top boxes that favored Microsoft and the cable companies — and rejected months of lobbying by Intel and others in the computer and electronics industry.

Google’s Gmail has quietly kicked the teeth out of other email services like Yahoo and Hotmail in what I like to call “POP value” (Perceived popular value). What Gmail does not offer in numbers, they make up for in crafty feature add-ons. Google has now included the ability to import Yahoo, Hotmail and even AOL email contacts on over to your Gmail account. The funny thing is, this is the digital equivalent to having Yahoo/MSN…
