I was not posting legal advice and besides this has to to with Federal
Law!! Read the other postings that came before mine and after. Also
title 17 of the US Code which others have listed is really open on

lines are mixed now with all the online access to music and video.

The only good spammer is a dead one!! Have you hunted one down today?
