Since the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, unsolicited e-mail has doubled or tripled in volume. The Act is so full of loopholes that I’m actually surprised to see so much “illegal” spam still being sent. When someone does get caught and charged with breaking a law, rarely does it lead to stiff penalties or jail time. The weak fine and judicial penalties only encourage more spamming because the consequences are so, well, inconsequential. The Internet governing bodies seem to be coddling spammers, pest software makers, and botnet creators.”]
