Comment This is just a fluff bill. (Score 1) 258

First off this bill is just fluff, all of the things it outlaws are already illegal under federal laws. Second off this sort of legislation worthless as most of the companies committing this sort of fraud are located in other countries. They operate with a VoIP connection and will call with one carrier for a while till the FTC or some state attorney general gets fed up and gets their VoIP connection shut down. The company then turns around and in less than an hour has another VoIP connection through a different carrier. There is basically nothing that can be done to stop them so long as VoIP carriers allow them to send out random caller id.

Comment Why tie to an email address. (Score 1) 232

I hate things that tie to an email address. I have used at least three different email providers over the years that have gone out of business. When they do I have to go through pain and suffering to get services that are tied to these accounts switched to a new email address. Especially ones that send an email to your old email address for verification of the switch.
