Subject: [For IP] caution on Spam legislation from CDT

Hi Dave,

Here's an interesting note of caution from CDT on spam legislation -
pointing out the difficulties lying just below the apparent consensus
over the need for federal spam legislation.

    http://www.cdt.org/publications/030616legaltimes.pdf

Jerry and Paula agree that the time has come for federal legislation,
but warn of risks to free expression.

I'm not sure that I agree with all of the points here, but it's
certainly worth a read.

Best,

Danny
