We don't have the US junk fax laws, I think. But we do have a law of marketing that lets us sign up on a central opt-out list for all kinds of addressed unsolicited commercial mail, be that e-mail, snail mail, GSM SMS, or telemarketing. (however, I'm not 100% sure of the last one.) If you are registered on the list, they can't contact you unless you ask them to or you are already a customer. For any interested Norwegians, or others that can read the language: > And how would I sue, or file a complaint against, a spammer situated > in the Fiji Islands? Which is exactly the reason why the Norwegian legislation on this matter isn't really doing anything useful, either. Such a law in the US _might_ stop the US spammers, though..
