| You know, in the US, the government is working on the no-call list to deter telemarketing. A lot of US states already have some sort of no-call list in effect at this very moment. Now, telemarketing has been around for quite a bit longer than internet advertising. I guess by Marketers reasoning we could just do away with telephones if we don't want to deal with it anymore. So why are no-call lists being passed into law? Because the government has found that that sort of advertising is intrusive and the people have spoken up and said we don't want this crap anymore. Actually over 50 million people have stood up and said they don't want the crap anymore. Unsolicited emails: Yet again, another law that the government has deemed appropriate to fight intrusive advertising. Net Send Spam: Honestly, I think I would rather receive email spam than net-send spam. So, as I turn off my messenger service, install anti-spam software and check my caller id, let me just say that it seems that of all these posts here, there are 2 or 3 that defend "spamming" and 30+ that are against. Damn...too bad it's not a democracy. FW |
