What's the problem with SPAM?

Spam is dangerous because it is often used by malicious people who have created false pretenses and exaggerated claims to slime their way towards your credit card numbers. It is an issue of computer privacy which typically involves spoofing (reproducing legitimate sites to fool users) and phishing (tricking individuals into disclosing private information). These crimes take place in cyberspace and can have a large impact on a person’s life. From a legal perspective, spam is dangerous because it is closely tied to crimes that corrupt the physical legal system as well as the workings of cyberspace. However, in 2004, the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pronography and Marketing Act (CAN-SPAM Act) was enacted; it is still a legally acceptable for a seller to advertise using electronic mail. The law states that commercial e-mail senders are barred from using misleading or bogus subject lines to conceal their origins (Essentials of Business Law, P.416, Luzio) but the law does not prevent solicitors from attempting to use Spam to illegally make a profit. Everyone is exposed to spam and it is seen as a part of the everyday virtual life. But in reality, you are just a few clicks away from identity theft.
