By US Code Title 47, Sec.227(a)(2)(B), a computer/modem/printer meets the
definition of a telephone fax machine.
By Sec.227(b)(1)(C), it is unlawful to send any unsolicited advertisement to
such equipment.
By Sec.227(b)(3)(C), a violation of the aforementioned Section is punishable
by action to recover actual monetary loss, or $500, whichever is greater, for
each violation.

There would be a seperate violation for each member of the FFML.  There are an
estimated 800+ members.  Do the math.

Also, don't reply to this on the list.  There has been enough spam about this.
Let's get back to fanfics.

Um.. I hate to burst your bubble on this.. but that won't hold up in
court. (it's been tried and failed). BUT, if any of you Listmembers
are in Washington State (here in the USA), and any spam you recieve
has a forged from or uses forged (faked) headers.. you CAN sue in
Washington Small Claims court for up to $500 per spam you recieve, and
your ISP can soak the spammer for an extra 1 grand per spam..

ObFFML: Someday soon the muse will strike and chapter six of Iron
Fist. Iron Warrior will come out, my Ranma 1/2-Street Fighter Fanfic.
Till then, is it ok to post ch 1-5 to get ideas from everybody on
where I should go from here? Many thanks.
