  • The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (15 U.S.C. 7701, et seq. , Public Law No. 108-187, was S.877 of the 108th United States Congress), signed into law by President George W. Bush on December 16, 2003, establishes the United States' first national standards for the sending of commercial e-mail and requires the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to enforce its provisions. The acronym CAN-SPAM derives from the bill's full name: Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography And Marketing Act of 2003. This is also a play on the usual term for unsolicited email of this type, spam. The bill was sponsored in Congress by Senators Conrad Burns and Ron Wyden. The law required the FTC to report back to Congress within 24 months of the effectiveness of the act. No changes were recommended. It also requires the FTC to promulgate rules to shield consumers from unwanted mobile phone spam. On December 20, 2005 a detailed report to congress on the effectiveness of the act indicated that the volume of spam has begun to level off, and due to enhanced anti-spam technologies, less is reaching consumer inboxes. A significant decrease in sexually-explicit e-mail was also reported. The CAN-SPAM Act is commonly referred to by anti-spam activists as the YOU-CAN-SPAM Act because the bill does not require e-mailers to get permission before they send marketing messages. It also prevents states from enacting stronger anti-spam protections, and prohibits individuals who receive spam from suing spammers. The Act has been largely unenforced, despite a letter to the FTC from Senator Burns, who noted that "Enforcement is key regarding the CAN-SPAM legislation. " In 2004 less than 1% of spam complied with the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. 16 C.F.R. part 316, "Definitions and Implementation Under the CAN-SPAM Act; Final Rule" went into effect July 7, 2008 and changed the original CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 by (1) Adding a definition of the term "person"; (2) Modifying the term "sender"; (3) Clarifying that a sender may comply with section 7704(a)(5)(A)(iii) by including a post office box or private mailbox and (4) Clarifying that to submit a valid opt-out request, a recipient cannot be required to pay a fee, provide information other than his or her email address and opt-out preferences, or take any other steps other than sending a reply email message or visiting a single page on an Internet website.
  • De CAN-SPAM wet, officieel de CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 is de eerste landelijk in de Verenigde Staten geldende wet die het versturen van commerciële e-mail-berichten (en andere elektronische berichten) regelt en stelt de Federal Communications Commission (FCC) verantwoordelijk voor het toezicht op de naleving van deze regels. De afkorting CAN-SPAM staat voluit voor: Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography And Marketing Act of 2003. (Wet voor het beheersen van de aanval door ongevraagde pornografie en marketing). De wet werd ingediend door de democratische senator Ron Wyden en republikeinse senator Conrad Burns Onderdeel van de wet was de eis aan de FCC om binnen 24 maanden na invoering een rapportage op te stellen over de effectiviteit van de wet en eventueel verbeter-voorstellen te doen. De gevraagde rapportage adviseerde geen wijzigingen. Volgens sommige anti-spam activisten staat de wet voor You Can Spam Act omdat de wet niet vereist dat alleen commerciële mail verstuurd mag worden aan personen die vooraf toestemming hebben gegeven om dit te doen (opt-in methode). Daarnaast maakt deze wet het onmogelijk om op staats-niveau stringentere anti-spam wetgeving in te voeren en maakt het voor individuen onmogelijk anderen aan te klagen wegens spam.
