    Bill would let spamees sue spammers
    By Declan McCullagh

    A pair of unusual political allies, a left-wing Democrat and a
    conservative religious group, teamed up on Thursday in Washington's
    latest bid to rid the Internet of spam.


    Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York joined with the Christian Coalition
    to announce support for a new bill that would create a national 
   "Do Not Spam" registry of e-mail addresses and, unlike other federal
    proposals to date, give individuals the right to sue spammers 
    for $1,000 per unlawful message.

    In a second unusual twist, Schumer's Stop Pornography and Abusive
    Marketing (SPAM) Act generally requires that unsolicited commercial
    e-mail include "ADV"--for advertisement--in subject lines. But the
    SPAM bill has been questioned because certain industry groups, such
    as the Direct Marketing Association, could qualify for a loophole
    that would permit them to send bulk e-mail without placing ADV on 
    their messages.

    Schumer's proposal has also been criticized because it could
    endanger legitimate Internet services such as "anonymous 
    remailers" and would give marketers access to the complete 
    do-not-spam list.
