Subject: File 1--MURKOWSKI: Free Speech Chilled by Junk Email law
Source -- Fight-Censorship List <fight-censorship@vorlon.mit.edu>
I would like to write something detailed about the recently passed (in the
Senate) spam law, but I don't have time today. So here are some quick
comments. The proposed will
* Restricts speech of normal email communications
* Is vague in that "Unsolicited" is not defined
* Has a trigger threshold of one email to one person
* Attempts to legislate a particular technology for removals
* Legitimizes spam, and does not effect many categories of spam
What follows are some random notes I have on this.
---------------------------
On May 12, 1998, the U.S. Senate adopted S. 1618 by a vote of 99-0. This
was Senator Murkowski's attempt at stopping email spam. The text of the
bill can be found at http://www.efga.org/netabuse/
An article in wired about this is located at
http://www.wired.com/news/news/politics/story/12289.html
The CAUCE web site, which no doubt has info on this is http://www.cauce.org/
THIS EMAIL MESSAGE YOU ARE READING IS A COMMERCIAL MESSAGE
Yes. Under the proposed bill, this is a commercial message. Why? Because
I have the wired link above, and wired is a site that by definition
(C) promotes the use of or contains a list of one or more
Internet sites that contain an advertisement
Guess what? Wired has advertisements. So do a lot of other sites. Please
correct me if I am wrong, but apparently sending one copy of this one
message to any one email address may place a $15,000 fine on me.
Some other info I found in the bill. For background.
Section 306 makes it illegal when any
intervening interactive computer service provider knowingly
and intentionally retransmits any electronic mail in violation
of Sections 301 or 306
This only seems to apply to commercial advertising, or more specifically
email that contains commercial advertising, whether or not the intent was
to advertise. It is unclear if this about to become federal law (in the
US) would hold a remailer or mail list liable for mail passing thru it.
(1) COMMERCIAL ELECTRONIC MAIL.- The term "commercial electronic
mail means any electronic mail that-
(A) contains an advertisement for the sale of a product or service;
(B) contains a solicitation for the use of a telephone number,
the use of which connects the user to a person or service that
advertises the sale of or sells a product or service; or
(C) promotes the use of or contains a list of one or more
Internet sites that contain an advertisement referred to in
subparagraph (A) or a solicitation referred to in subparagraph (B).
The bill is specific about removing headers. You may not alter headers to
make the message appear to not come from the original sender.
(b) ROUTING INFORMATION-All internet routing information
contained within or accompanying an electronic mail message
described in subsection (a) must be accurate, valid according
to the prevailing standards for Internet protocols, and
accurately reflect message routing.
It should be noted that the $15,000 fine does not apply to bulk email, but
to a single message sent to a single person.
Therefore, it would appear that this message is covered under the bill. If
this was sent by an anonymous remailer, it would seem the remailer operator
may be liable as well.
----------------------
Because this law effect all communications, not just bulk communications,
it requires that all email users maintain removal databases that are
triggered by the use of the keyword "remove" in the subject line. As in
Subject --Remove me from your stupid list
Subject --Re: Remove
Subject --Can you suggest how I remove ants from my yard?
Software will interpret all above cases as a remove request, which under
the law, they in fact are.
The law really seems to have a lot of free speech implications. Once I get
a chance, I'll read through it some more.

Subject: File 2--Murkowski "Unsolicited Commercial Email Choice Act"
((MODERATORS' NOTE: For those who missed it, here is a reprint of
the Murowski Act))
From: http://www.senate.gov/~murkowski/commercialemail
(Senator Frank Murkowski homepage)
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Unsolicited Commercial Electronic Mail
Choice Act of 1997''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The Internet is a worldwide network of information that growing
numbers of Americans use on a regular basis for educational and
personal activities.
(2) Electronic mail messages transmitted on the Internet constitute an
increasing percentage of communications in the United States.
(3) Solicited commercial electronic mail is a useful and
cost-effective means for Americans to receive information about a
business and its products.
(4) The number of transmissions of unsolicited commercial electronic
mail advertisements has grown exponentially over the past several
years as the technology for creating and transmitting such
advertisements in bulk has made the costs of distribution of such
advertisements minimal.
(5) Individuals have available no effective means of differentiating
between unsolicited commercial electronic mail advertisements and
other Internet communications.
(6) The transmitters of unsolicited commercial electronic mail
advertisements can easily move from State to State.
(7) Individuals and businesses that receive unsolicited commercial
electronic mail advertisements often pay for the costs of such receipt
,including the costs of Internet access and long distance telephone
charges.
(8) Unsolicited commercial electronic mail can be used to advertise
legitimate services and goods but is also used for fraudulent and
deceptive purposes in violation of Federal and State law.
(9) Individuals and companies that use unsolicited commercial
electronic mail for fraudulent and deceptive purposes often use
fraudulent identification information in such electronic mail, making
it impossible for a recipient to request to be removed from the
mailing list or for law enforcement authorities to identify the
sender.
(10) The inability of recipients of unsolicited commercial electronic
mail to identify the senders of such electronic mail or to prevent its
receipt impedes the flow of commerce and communication on the Internet
and threatens the integrity of commerce on the Internet.
(11) Internet service providers are burdened by the cost of equipment
necessary to process unsolicited commercial electronic mail.
(12) To facilitate the development of commerce and communication on
the Internet, unsolicited commercial electronic mail should be readily
identifiable and filterable by individuals and Internet service
providers.
SEC. 3. REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO TRANSMISSIONS OF UNSOLICITED
COMMERCIAL ELECTRONIC MAIL.

%T "Privacy on the Line: The Politics of Wiretapping and Encryption"
This seems to be the year for privacy. Hard on the heels of
"Technology and Privacy" (cf. BKTCHPRV.RVW), "The Electronic Privacy
Papers" (cf. BKELPRPA.RVW), and the related "Borders in Cyberspace"
(cf. BKBRDCYB.RVW) comes this volume.
Given the emotional content with which the encryption debate has been
loaded in recent years, it is important that the introduction, in
chapter one, is a neutral and even-handed look at the background of
the discussion, presenting the issues on both sides, although little
of the case for either. Specific references may be from the United
States, but the arguments made are generic enough to be considered by
all audiences. Chapter two gives an overview of cryptography, which
is, of course, excellent. Not only does it explain the importance of
keys and cryptographic strength, but it also gives insightful analysis
into business and social factors in the development of the field.
Cryptography and public policy, in chapter three, is restricted to
developments within (and related to) the US, but looks at all types of
issues, both technical and not. Chapter four discusses national
security with a quick but clear and thorough overview of the various
aspects of intelligence gathering, particularly communications
intelligence. There is also brief mention of information warfare.
Much of the heat in the current debate about encryption restrictions
involves law enforcement. (References are frequently made to drug and
child pornography rings.) Therefore, the brevity of chapter five is
disappointing. The content, however, is not. It builds a solid
framework for the topic, and notes an instructive difference in
effectiveness between wiretaps and other electronic bugs. Chapter six
is again specific to US history, reviewing activities both in support,
and destructive, of privacy.
Chapter seven deals specifically with wiretapping technology,
activities, and legality in the US. Much of the material in the
chapter has been at least touched on previously, and there is
noticeable duplication. There is less duplication in chapter eight's
discussion of the current communications scene, although little new
material. The same is not the case with current cryptography in
chapter nine, providing brief backgrounds of the myriad efforts being
made to disseminate and suppress encryption capabilities. The
conclusion, in chapter ten, seems to come down on the side of opening
encryption development and distribution.
An extensive, possibly exhaustive, bibliography is a major resource in
the book.
The thorough research, even tone, and informed analysis make this work
an excellent foundation for discussion. It does not, however, provide
much in the way of direction. That the authors should tend to support
the dropping of restrictions on cryptography is not surprising, but
such support is neither strong nor impassioned.
