Spam, unsolicited, unwanted commercial communication, especially in
bulk form is increasingly included in the areas of concern and
regulation of governments worldwide. Unfortunately, this recognized
and exponentially growing menace has not yet met its regulatory
match. Piecemeal controls, lack of international cooperation, and
the absence of an overall policy on combating patently intrusive
and unwanted messages in all channels of communication hamper the
struggle. The present volume contains eleven national reports,
together with a general report, on this major problem that is
presently burdening and distorting communications through the
Internet.Most of the reports were presented at the XVIIth Congress
of the International Academy of Comparative Law held at Utrecht,
the Netherlands on July 19, 2006. The authors have had the
opportunity to revise and update their texts before they were
submitted here for publication. The national reports are from
Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Spain, South
Africa, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Starting from some common assumptions; including respect for
freedom of expression; emphasis on unsolicited, bulk, automated;
messages to strangers; and non-interference with the normal use of
the Internet; the contributors set out to tackle spammer
elusiveness and the difficulties of cross-border coordination that
plague this field.Among the broadly conceived legal responses they
consider are the following: making spam illegal; empowering the
user to avoid and repel spam; laws governing confidentiality of
personal data; application of unfair competition; laws; and
conscripting the service providers to block spam in its tracks
through a variety of controls. The reports provide documentation
and analysis of the various ways in which these approaches have
been used, or can be used, in legislation and case law in a variety
of national and international fora. Workers in all fields of
communications, from technologists to legal practitioners and
academics to administrative policymakers, will benefit enormously
from these syntheses and insights.
