I have a family in US, who lives more than 20 years there so far. And i know a lot about the US, the law and the way of life in US.
Not from the sound of what you were saying before. I have family in Columbus, Ohio. However, I know little about Columbus.
Yes, Canada and UK have bad laws about email marketing also, but i was not talking about email laws in US only, i was talking about global "cyber" laws in US. They prohibited a lot of nonsens stuff, they prohibited some actions which are nothing compares to some other things which are legal, but not done over the internet.
I may or may not agree with you on this, but the problem is that it's rather subjective to try to determine what is "worse."
Besides, when we are talking about mafia, biggest players in criminal world are siting in the gov planing their next big game, it's not just in US, it's everywhere. Just take a look at Croatia and Sanader, he was a prime minister of Croatia for years and he was stealing and taking payoff from who ever he can. They are now suing him for few millions of euros which he stole during his mandate.
You don't have to tell me. I live in Cleveland, and our County Commissioner, Jimmy Dimora, was just found guilty of huge numbers of counts of racketeering. It transcends all levels of government, and it's a damn shame.
And yeah one more thing, if "email spamming" is a crime act, then putting fucking flyers each day in my "REAL" mailbox should be 10 x worse.
I very much agree.
I need to take that shit and throw it in a can each day. I am receiving at last 3 promo letter each day from various groceries stores, computer stores, beauty salons and so on... Have i ever "opted-in" for their mailing list?NO! I don't even want to receive that shit, but i can't "opt-out" anywhere.
I agree. It's hypocritical to regulate one so heavily but not the other.
But alas, a lot of politicians do their campaigns via door-to-door mail, so they're not going to regulate it, since it helps THEM not to.
That's what i call nonsense. You can delete the email in a one second and it does not destroy the nature as the paper flyers does, so e-mail marketing is "green", and we like green

Hey, you're preaching to the choir. I think the inconsistency is ridiculous. But it is what it is.
