Re: serial unsolicited commercial emails after unsubscribe requests Do you by any change run any computer (say, a DSL router or wifi AP) which permits users to connect to the internet, for example to read their email? If so, I'd say you're an Internet Access Service Provider under the definition in CAN-SPAM, and you can certainly feel free to let the spammer who refuses to unsubscribe you from their list know that. And cc the corporate counsel and/or CEO on your next unsubscribe notice. Be sure to point out that once you've notified them not to send you any more unsolicited commercial emails, that if they do so again, that's clearly willful violation of the law exposing them to treble damages. This strategy has worked great for me in the past. Sometimes it's tricky to track down the general counsel, but often it's pretty straightforward. » POSTED IN:
