And even with the stretch of the imagination it is made a "free speech" issue, doesn't my right to choose not to listen apply here too? There is a joke that says when Alexander Graham Bell sent his first telephone message back in 1876, the next day, both AT&T and MCI called him trying to get him to switch! :-)
So, which does folks consider worse, email spam, telemarketing or junk snail mail?
As far as the fight against spam, will SIMS and similar programs be adequate for the foreseeable future, or will the email paradigm need to have major changes? I have heard some saying that all email should become secured, with the likes of PGP and other certification processes, to check the validity of a particular email. The plus I see is that it could potentially make it more difficult to send "fake" email credentials, but a major downside would be that email would lose its simplicity that has made it so universally accessible, even for the average person, so I would hate to see email become too complicated and lose its appeal as a easy, user friendly communication medium.

What I can't figure out is why a judge thinks someone calling MY PHONE is a "free speech" issue. Sorry, but no one has the right to use MY PHONE without MY permission.
