NUISANCE AT ITS BEST

The present system of spam mails and unsolicited mails is a gold mine for the advertisers and an illegal nuisance and privacy violation for the end user. The end user is compulsorily required to bear these nuisances and the only recourse he has is to take recourse of either the technological measures or the law or both. The law must be punitive in this regard and exemplary damages should be awarded as a matter of course for these nuisances and illegal privacy violations. The privacy of the user is violated by installing various spy wares and cookies that keep a record of the surfing habits of the users. These surfing habits are then sold to the advertisers and internet marketeers who then use it for spamming purposes. The spam laws of various countries must be amended suitably to accommodate these nuisances and privacy violations in the most desirable manner.
