Australian IT reports that planet Microsoft is wary of Australia's proposed new anti-spam laws:
MICROSOFT has expressed concern about the Australian government's proposed anti-spam laws in its submission to a Senate committee inquiry. In a submission to the Senate Environment, Communications, Information Technology and the Arts Committee on the Spam Bill 2003 and the Spam (Consequential Amendments) Bill 2003, Microsoft argued that companies would need more certainty about their obligations under the laws. The proposed legislation considers there is consent to receive commercial email where there is an established business relationship exists. Microsoft questioned the clarity of this, saying legitimate businesses needed more clarity and should not have to assess each case separately. It recommended that consent should be assumed where there was an established business relationship between the sender and the addressee, and where "the addressee has not previously indicated to the sender that he or she does not wish to receive from the sender commercial electronic messages of the kind proposed to be sent".Microsoft wants us to presume that I give concept because I haven't expressly said I don't. F**K off! Oh, I'm sorry I axe murdered you, but you didn't expressly tell me not to. I guess you might have if I hadn't just cut off your head. Never mind. Let's go play with Windows. Grrr.
