New CAN-SPAM Sport: Office-Dork Dunking
from the fun-for-the-whole-family dept
zanek writes "The CAN-SPAM Act supposedly protects you from spammers you don't know. But what about the clowns in your office who force their political wisdom and/or sense of humor on you, along with the rest of their address book?" He's obviously joking (and the full CAN SPAM pretty clearly shows that those types of emails aren't covered by the act), but given some of the other bizarre lawsuits inspired by misreading CAN SPAM, it wouldn't be surprising to see someone take annoying office mates on over this.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Al.
