EPIC Senate Testimony on Spam (May 21, 2003)
http://www.epic.org/privacy/junk_mail/spam/spamtestimony5.21. 03.html
Mr. Chairman, spam is a complex problem. There is no simple
legislative solution. A multi-tiered approach that includes
aggressive enforcement, better technology for identifying and
filtering spam, and cooperation at the state and international
level will all be necessary. In addition, baseline federal
legislation that gives users the opportunity to go after
spammers and ensures that marketing lists are built on
explicit consent and not on deception is a critical part of
the effort to stem the tide of undesired commercial e-mail.
Policy Framework for Effective Spam Legislation (July 18, 2003) http://www.privacycoalition.org/spam_letter.html
-- opt-in, private right of action, freedom for states to
pursue spammers, technical measures, and international
cooperation
