Nevada May Ban Junk E-Mail

NEVADA MAY BAN JUNK E-MAIL: The Nevada state Senate has introduced a bill
that would make sending unsolicited ads directly to e-mail accounts a
misdemeanor.  "Most e-mail users pay for their service, so unsolicited
e-mail is like receiving direct mail with postage due," says the Senate's
majority leader, who notes the bill is modeled on a previous measure that
bans unsolicited advertising over fax machines.  California, Virginia and
Connecticut are considering similar measures, but the Nevada legislature is
widely viewed as closest to passing the ban.  (St. Petersburg Times 3 Mar
