Aiding and abetting violations of CAN SPAM

A

The US DOJ announced today the guilty plea of David Patton. Patton was charged with “aiding and abetting violations of the CAN SPAM act. Software written by Patton’s company provided the ability to modify email headers and use open proxies to disguise the source of the email.
The Ralsky convictions are, to the best of my knowledge, the first criminal prosecution for CAN SPAM violations and so far 9 of the 12 defendents charged have pled guilty.

  • I have a question and although i know paying a lawyer to tell me is the best way to go i was wondering if you just knew. Lets say we are sending on behalf of one of our clients that reside in the EU but are sending to US recipients. What laws should we have them abide to? Who their sending to or what country their corporation resides?
    we have them follow the laws the CAN-SPAM act and some formations of the EU laws but what SHOULD it be?
