Can-Spam Anyone?

WASHINGTON - Six joint lawsuits against hundreds of suspected spammers - said to have spammed for prescription drugs, herbal remedies, weight loss plans, and even some adult-oriented products - were filed March 9 in four states by Microsoft, America Online, EarthLink, and Yahoo, with the companies saying the accused include some of America's more notorious mass spammers.

These six actions are considered the first major Internet industry actions under the so-called CAN-SPAM Act which took effect January 1. The first CAN-SPAM suit was filed the first week of March, in which regional Internet service provider Hypertouch accused the owner of a Bob Vila Website of spamming Vila's Home Again Newsletter.

I guess one man's dinner food is another person's junk mail.
