Busting Blocks: Appropriate Legal Remedies for Wrongful Inclusion in Spam Filters under U.S. LawJonathan I. EzorTouro College Law Center - Institute for Business, Law and Technology November 13, 2006 Abstract: This paper discusses the growth and increasing significance of e-mail in the business and personal environment, and how unsolicited bulk commercial e-mail, also known as spam, has become a significant drain on technical and economic resources. It analyzes the statutory and self-help efforts to combat spam, focusing on block lists and automated spam filters, and how alleged spammers have brought lawsuits in U.S. courts claiming they had been wrongfully included within block lists and filters. Finally, it describes possible claims under U.S. law, then argues for a higher standard of care among block list vendors and the need for recourse to courts when self-help remedies for mistaken block listing fail.
