Will Professor Lessig be Forced to Resign?
Come Find Out!

LABEL/BOUNTY SPAM LEGISLATION

with

Representative Zoe Lofgren
Professor Lawrence Lessig
CNET Reporter Declan McCullagh

Monday April 28, 2003
1:00-2:00 PM
Room 290
Stanford Law School
Open to All!

Background:

September 16, 2002
Imagine a law that had two parts-a labeling part and a bounty part. Part A 
says that any unsolicited commercial e-mail must include in its subject 
line the tag [ADV:]. Part B says that the first person to track down a 
spammer violating the labeling requirement will, upon providing proof to 
the Federal Trade Commission, be entitled to $10,000 to be paid by the 
spammer."
-Larry Lessig CIO Insight Magazine
January 1, 2003
Here goes: So (a) if a law like the one I propose is passed on a national 
level, and (b) it does not substantially reduce the level of spam, then (c) 
I will resign my job. I get to decide whether (a) is true; Declan can 
decide whether (b) is true. If (a) and (b) are both true, then I'll do (c) 
at the end of the following academic year

Next Monday, April 28, 2003 at Stanford Law School

Representative Zoe Lofgren introduces Label/Bounty SPAM Legislation at 
SLATA's Pizza with the Profs. Professor Lessig announces whether (a) is 
true.  His nemesis CNET Reporter Declan McCullagh appears to explain how 
he'll decide whether (b) is true.  What about (c)?
