This is from the March 30, 2004 program.
This is a brilliant little piece by Rob Courddry that provides first hand commentary straight from one of the world’s large-scale spammers.

Rick Boucher (D-VA) and his collegues have introduced an anti-spam bill. (I know, I know, Yet Another Anti-Spam Bill…)
Here’s a press release and actual text of the bill for you to chew on.
The Anti-SPAM Act, of which Congressman Boucher is an original co-author, would enable consumers to opt-out of all commercial e-mail from any company. Companies who send commercial e-mails would be required to clearly identify the e-mail as a business solicitation or advertisement and to provide the recipient with a return e-mail address or website where he or she can opt-out from receiving the company
There’s a cool panel I’ll be going to this Sunday in Berkeley at the Hillside Club.
I don’t mean to make the event sound confrontational in my headline. The goal of this panel is to get everybody in one room so we can hear all of the different viewpoints on these issues. Hopefully we’ll be willing to listen to one another. It should be pretty interesting.
Members of the press: this would be a good chance for you to spend an hour or so of your time and learn everything you ever wanted to know about spam tech and collect a round of business cards from the participating parties for quotes in the future when this stuff hits the mainstream media over the next few months.
