Comment Plausible deniability (Score 1) 238
How is it proven that a company whose product is advertised in spam is the originator or even a conspiritor in sending the message out? Motive certainly isn't sufficient. It seems like they will have a hard time prosecuting companies who take the extra step in assuring plausible deniability before ordering (I have no recollection of that senator) unsolicited mailings.
What seems even more interesting though is that, were the government to take a really strong stance towards prosecution, "fake" spam campaigns would become that much more effective in damaging a company.
