Junk Fax Ruling May Help Antispam Effort

from the as-if-that-will-help dept

An appeals court has ruled that laws restricting junk faxes are constitutional, and anti-spam forces may try to use that decision to push forward legislation banning spam. Of course, anti-spam legislation will do little to get rid of the amount of spam you're getting (it will just move offshore, or make itself slightly harder to be tracked down), but it may shut up a bunch of the spammers who self-righteously spout off about how they're not doing anything wrong, since there's no law against spam.
