John Hudson asked:
How in heaven's name is some DA in Virginia going to prosecute a
spam sender in Outer Mongolia and a recipient in the Central
African Republic where by chance the message ripples through some
wiring in Virginia !!
----------------------------
It's not by chance that the message will ripple through some wiring in
Virginia. And it's not by chance that this is a Virginia law. A major
chunk of the internet backbone is located in northern Virginia (which
also happens to be home to AOL who, amongst others, are behind the law).
Whether the prosecutor can reach somebody in Outer Mongolia is a good
question. However, a lot of Outer Mongolian traffic is undoubtedly
already passing through northern Virginia.
