"Safeguards should be provided for subscribers against intrusion of their privacy by unsolicited communications for direct marketing purposes in particular by means of automated calling machine, telefaxes and email, including SMS messages. These forms of unsolicited commercial communications may on the one hand be relatively cheap and easy to send and on the other may impose a burden and/or cost on the recipient. Moreover, in some cases their volume may also cause difficulties for electronic communications networks and terminal equipment. For such forms of unsolicited communications for direct marketing, it is justified to require that prior explicit consent of the recipients is obtained before such communications are addressed to them."

Latest (UPDATED Friday 6th January)

I'd like to thank everyone whose emailed me in the past few days. Do keep sending your comments. I was starting to get to the bottom of the list of people to reply to, but the mail has picked up again. If you sent me email more than a week ago, and you haven't a personal response, please drop me another line as your email might not have been delivered, or I might have overlooked it. If you've emailed me in the last 2-3 days, please bear with me, I will get back to you.

 

If you do write, please state whether or not you'd like to be kept in touch with developments by email. Pretty obviously, I won't be able to email you with interesting news or updates etc. unless I do have your permission!

 

As a result of your emails, some very interesting and new ideas to combat spam have emerged which I think are very worth developing further, and I expect to make a major announcment in the next week or two. So please keep checking back .. as you can see the site is developing daily. And please don't hesitate to get in touch. Nigel

This site is about the recently settled Claim in the English County Court between Nigel Roberts and an English email and fax marketing company Medial Logistics (UK) Limited with offices in Falkirk, Scotland. It should be noted that that Media Logistics GmbH (a German design company of note) appears to have nothing to do with the UK company. (They are at an address in the .COM domain,whereas the Scottish email marketing company's website address ends in '.NET').
