Internet "spammers" who flood e-mail inboxes with pornography and get-rich-quick schemes could face jail time and million-dollar fines under the bill, which passed by a vote of 97 to 0

Didn't even know they were working on one.

Good start.

Who is in charge of enforcement?

See that's the catch, it will of course be handled nationally- so can international spammers use this do-not-spam list as a free source to gather targets?

now lets see what the house of reps does

and then maybe the court system will try to come up with some dumbassed free speech argument and protect spam as speech.

Exactly. I bet the spammers are quaking in their undies right now.

Its about time for some kind of legislation. I wonder how 'watered-down' the final version will be?

I'm reading it more. Looks like they are combining multiple ideas and bills and hope to have a National common bond that will work. In other words something that will work by Committee, what I have been pushing for on the Technology front. I wish I could somehow get on one of the Teams placed in charge of putting this Task force together.

Can't wait for the first Spam idiot to be crucified.

The punishment must fit the crime and be a good deterent that would make anyone anywhere in the world think twice before polluting a common worldwide Communication resource for the good of mankind with their garbage.
