Morrison & Foerster: Japanese New Anti-Spam Law
“The New Anti-Spam Law applies to all commercial email sent to or from Japan by for-profit groups or individuals engaged in business (“Senders”). Accordingly, the rules described in this Alert are applicable to any Sender who sends commercial email to recipients in Japan, regardless of where the Senders are located.” (emphasis mine)
Synopsis: fewer exemptions, opt-in rather than opt-out, and bigger fines.
