If it works, I hope it will be copied here in the States.

Japan is planning to toughen regulations on unsolicited, bulk e-mails.

I don't know how much time I waste each day just deleting junk…it even says "junk" in the subject line. 

Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications "intends to submit a bill next year that would prohibit the sending of commercial e-mails to people other than those who have agreed in advance to accept them."spam.email.jpg

Violators face penalties of up to 12 months imprisonment and up to 1 million yen in fines.  Too easy!

In Japan, matchmaking sites are the biggest

offenders.

Phishers are also being considered. 

Yeah! Get them too while you are at it.

Does anybody really like spam emails? But…then the reason it happens is because it works. A law of percentages I suppose.

I hate spam.
