TechLaw: Obscenity in E-Mail Messages Judged by National Community Standards
“In a nutshell, the defendants used spam to promote adult websites.
The court ruled that the appropriate standard for e-mailed obscenity is a national community standard…the application of a local community standard to e-mail speech was unconstitutional.
…the court remarked that domain name registrants who use [domain name] registration services that conceal the registrant’s true identity have materially falsified their registration information” - making it illegal under CAN-SPAM.
