Spam Sent by Fraud Is Made a Felony Under Virginia Law - Wed Apr 30, 8:59 AM By SAUL HANSELL The New York Times

In the toughest move to date against unsolicited commercial e-mail, Virginia enacted a law yesterday imposing harsh felony penalties for sending such messages to computer users through deceptive means.

The law would be enforced against those who use fraudulent practices to send bulk e-mail, commonly known as spam, to or from Virginia, a state that is headquarters for a number of major Internet providers, including the nation's largest, America Online.
