A “Sunshine” Proposal for Federal Legislation
Modeled after Custodian of Records Law requiring Proof of Age of Adult-Movie Performers (18 USC 2257)
All commercial email (including solicited) must disclose a “custodian of records” (US resident, address, phone, email)
Failure to disclose = presumption of spam and high civil penalties (dollars per email)
False disclosures = criminal penalties
Disclosures subject to reasonable due diligence
Truthful disclosures, but inadequate records = reduced statutory damages (fraction of penny per email)
