Spam Bill Introduced in Wisconsin

A new state anti-spam bill aimed at combating fraudulent e-mail is making its way through the Wisconsin legislature.

Dubbed the Wisconsin 2005 Can-SPAM bill, the measure would make it a crime for anyone but nonprofit organizations and the government to send e-mail solicitations that conceal the identity of the sender or attempt to defraud consumers.

Public hearings were held on the bill last week in Wisconsin
