What's sad about this report from Michasel Geist is that it's completely believable. He reports that a group of 13 industry associations submitted "a lengthy document  that, if adopted, would gut much of the [anti-spam] law. The groups adopt radical interpretations of the law to argue for massive new loopholes or for the indefinite delay of several provisions. I will focus on some of the submissions shortly, but this post focuses on the return of an issue that was seemingly killed years ago: demands to permit surreptitious surveillance by the copyright owners and other groups for private enforcement purposes."
