CAN-SPAM Act

Didn’t work very well, it seems:

While there has been some progress in the fight against spam, it’s mostly come from improving filter technology. In the meantime, however, CAN SPAM’s continued uselessness is highlighted in this new report showing that the amount of spam that “complies” with CAN SPAM disclosure rules is at an all-time low of 0.27 percent.

Shocker.

Of course, I’d still like to see if anyone has actually been punished for violations. That would at least be SOME success.
