I'm cautious about laws... if you make it illegal then it will go underground and become more difficult to defend. For example, here's a nasty trend I hate... Norton Antivirus and Norton Systemworks being sold by what seems like every spam house in the world... It's a deluge... If you talk to Symantec they have "nothing to do with it"... of course... And how can they prevent unauthorized third/forth parties from reselling product they purchase or steal from the pipeline? The dark side of me thinks... why would they want to since it all drives revenue to Symantec in the long run? My point is, legal or not - legitimate or not - if there's a way to do this in the name of marketing they will figure out how. There are laws against cold-calling my phone at home, but it happens every day - glad I have caller ID so I can do some filtering. I think we're going to have to beat this one with technology - and I pray we can get that done before the lawyers come and cause real trouble. _M --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
