Spammers against spamming

Okay, so that was a cheap shot. Anyways, it turns out the Direct Marketing Association is now in favor of federal anti-spam legislation. Spam has become such a problem that the DMA has apparently seen the writing on the wall. This change of heart isn't too surprising. Antispam legislation *will* happen at some point, and the DMA would rather lobby to get the laws to work as much in their favor as possible. I still think that any antispam legislation that doesn't include "opt-in required" or "can't sell address to partners" provisions would be mostly useless.
