- Offence under US code Title 47, Sec 227(b) (1) (C)
- I have recently received UNSOLICITED and UNWANTED junk e-mail from an
- individual who appears to be using your site. A copy of that mail is
- attached herewith. Junk Mail is now regarded as the same as unwanted
- and unsolicited junk faxes and telemarketing calls - all of which are
- now ILLEGAL under US federal law:
-
- By US Code Title 47, Sec.227(a)(2)(B), a computer/modem/printer
- meets the definition of a telephone fax machine. By Sec.227(b)
- (1)(C), it is unlawful to send any unsolicited advertisement to
- such equipment, punishable by action to recover actual monetary
- loss, or $500, whichever is greater, for EACH violation.
-
- Please ensure this is stopped NOW. You have been put on notice. If you
- confirm to me promptly that effective action has been taken against those
- persons responsible, I will not take the matter further on this occasion.
-
- If you do not provide me with such confirmation in a timely manner, or if
- ANY further UNSOLICITED or UNWANTED junk mail should be received from your
- site, I will instruct my attorney to issue a writ WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE,
- and the matter will then be pursued under federal law. I will separately
- notify your upstream providers as they may also be liable for violations
- originating from your site.
