Thats one thing I realy like about the German laws - spamming
via any kind of personal device is forbidden - no fax-spam,
no telex spam and no e-mail spam. Spaming is considered stealing
your property, since the spammer uses your fax paper and your
power line to print his message, and/or your time to check
and delete spam. And theft is just unlawful :)
After just 4 or 5 court ruleings spamming _IN_ Germany is
almost zero - we just have SPAM from outside the country
like senseless US-Spamm :)
