Spam to become illeagal ?!?!?!

I just got this in an email and thought the rest of you might be interested.....



TRAC (Telecommunications Research and Action Center, a consumer group), NCL
(National Consumers League) and Consumer Action filed a petition with the
Federal Trade Commission requesting that unsolicited commercial email (commonly
referred to as "spam") be considered an unfair and deceptive trade practice as
it causes harm to consumers.


Here's a link to an article at eSecurity Planet with more information about the
petition to the FTC:

And here's a link to a website run by TRAC where you can report your spam
horror stories and register your support for the anti-spam petition:

I believe spam is already illegal. That's why every spam message says something like 'You received this message because you expressed interest in our products. If you received this message in error, we apologize'
