Try to imagine that every country has a "do not spam me" e-mail list,
because the legislators are trying to convert their snail mail
anti-spam laws into e-mail anti-spam laws word by word.

I really hope, that the legislators in EU and USA understand, that
these kinds of lists should be based on market principles, since the
definition of spam is subjective, and not something that can be
written into a law.


I don't see your point.

Do-not-spam lists, commercial or governmental, are relevant only in that we 
can't have them until we have accountability. Sure, it is going to be 
complicated to comply with umpteen different sets of laws, but 
international corporations (like Amazon) are already doing that.
