But rear it's ugly head, it has. It appears that Utah and Michigan are light years ahead of the game and the crack down on e- mail and/or e-commerce is about to commence. If it wasn't so serious, I would have to say it was quite a stroke of genius. It's actually quite simple and will eventually be used to eliminate most free speech on the internet. > > While most aspects of the two laws are much the same, let's review Michigan's new law to show some of the ramifications of this law. They have set-up a "Do Not Contact" registry. Anyone may add e-mail addresses, instant messaging addresses and/or telephone numbers to this registry. Under their law, anyone who sends spam or legitimate e-mails to anyone on the registry is guilty of a felony. If convicted, senders could be fined up to $5000 per message (only up to $30,000) and serve one-to-three years in prison. But, don't fret, anyone sending e-mail can pay a flat monthly fee (tax) every 30 days to assure their e-mail is bumped with the registry and remains legal. ################
Do you have a bill number on this? I searched and the only thing I found was HB4324 which changes spamming from a misdemeanor to a felony, but does not seem to do the other things discussed. It also appears to be dead in the water. I'm always skeptical about such reports that do not provide references to the impending doom. Greg Dirasian ------------------------ Yahoo!
