Applauds House for Passing Anti-Spam Bill As Legislation Moves Closer to the White House for President Bush's Signature
Bill Gates, chairman and chief software architect of Microsoft Corp., today issued the following statement in support of the House's passage of the S. 877 anti-spam bill:
"Today's passage of the anti-spam bill is a milestone in the battle against spam, and a major step toward preserving e-mail as a powerful communication tool. Microsoft applauds both houses of Congress for their efforts to get a strong bill to the president before the end of the year. This legislation is a critical component of the broader fight against spam, and complements the industry's own anti-spam technologies. It will help consumers regain control of their inboxes, and support e-mail service providers in their battle to contain the spam menace.
"With this legislation, the spammers who deluge computer users with billions of unwanted e-mails will face significant penalties for their illegal actions. Microsoft particularly supports the strong enforcement provisions, and the ban on falsifying the origin of e-mail solicitations and illegally obtaining lists of e-mail addresses, both of which will help Internet service providers prosecute spammers.

BTW, the Feds DO prosecute for jailtime as well. The trials would be in Federal Court, not state court. That's why there are Federal prisons. It would be no different than for counterfeiting, for example.
