This seems much more sweeping than the Washington anti-spam law, but in being more sweeping also condones certain sorts of commercial messages and treads dangerously close to some constitutional issues. Well worth a read through.

There's also a California anti-spam law. (Can you tell Dan's testing the Flutterby comment system?)

The site Todd pointed to above, Spam Laws, has laws for various jurisdictions. The Colorado Spam Law provides that:
"the prevailing party other than the originator of the unsolicited commercial electronic mail message is also entitled to recover as part of the judgment a civil penalty in the amount of ten dollars for each unsolicited commercial electronic mail message transmitted in violation of this article."
Makes me wish one could verify that a spammer actually used one of those "6 million email addresses" CDs that I get so much spam about...
