I can live with spamming being considered as a minor crime - PROVIDED -
that the "remove me from your spam list" is included in EVERY Email, it
is a one or two click process, and that it actually WORKS CORRECTLY !!!
If the remove process doesn't work, or takes more than 10 seconds to
complete, or more than 24 hours to process, it should be considered
FRAUDand there should be severe penalties.
I would prefer to see a MANDATORY sentence of 10 years in FEDERAL lock
up for the executive officers, the management chain that approved the
spam, and at least 2 years for the administrator of the system involved
in sending the spam. (I would prefer it to be a capitol crime, but that
may be pushing it just a bit!)
