I'm not going to argue legalities with you, not being a legal type, but surely the same sort of restrictions that apply to child porn adn offensive material being sent from over seas would still make it possible to prosecute some one if they were originating stuff from NZ.
What I mean is this, if I were to send child porn from Pakistan to here I would still get arrested surely. Why wouldn't a law change make spamming just as liable to prosecution. > other jurisdictions make it illegal, without a jot of difference to the > spam load. Can you expand on that comment? What other jurisdictions? Am interested to know. I personally would love to see the law changed to include an opt in, opt out option. On my letter box I can place notices regarding who can drop what in it ( said notices unfortunatley don't apply to the IRD, bills and Property sales people ) and they are reasonably enforcable if I want to go about enforcing it. Electronic mail should be the same, even if it is less tangbly physical. Cheers, Shane
