The CAN-SPAM Act

The CAN-SPAM Act [Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing] became law on January 1st of this year, giving the Federal Trade Commission new tools to use against companies that send e-mail spam. Under CAN SPAM, government agencies and Internet Service Providers can sue spammers, but individuals cannot. But just how effective is the federal CAN-SPAM Act? Do you receive less spam? Experts Nick Gillespie, Editor-in-chief of Reason Magazine, and John Mozena, co-founder and VP of CAUCE.org, the Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial E-mail, join Host Larry Mantle to discuss the new law.
