MICE WATCHING THE CHEESE

Self-Policing Added to Spam Bill
The Washington Post is reporting that one of the primary bills in Congress - in typical political fashion - provides an out to spammers who "agree to police themselves." This "pie crust promise" would enable bulk emailers to avoid stiff penalties for bogging down the internet with crappy spam email.

The Bill is sponsored by Reps. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), W.J. "Billy" Tauzin (R-La.) and F. James Sensenbrenner Jr. (R-Wis.).
