A lot of antispam laws (eg: australia, canada etc) use the "country link" concept If the spam was originated from an IP in australia, paid for by an australian, **received by an australian**, then australian law has jurisdiction over it and the competent authority (telecom regulator / law enforcement) can decide to follow up on the case So just because spam isn't illegal in, say, romania might be moot On 3/30/12, Gert Doering <gert@space.net> wrote:
