I concur.

Legislation only serves to screw the Guy With Less Money. When and if these laws do get passed, it will only be a matter of time before some big corporation uses them, not to defeat spam, but as a good excuse put the financial hurt on other corporations. Or instead, to silence the unhappy customer. "The e-mail that you, Joe Consumer, sent to complaints@company.com, was unsolicited. We're suing you for damages. See you in court, unless of course you prefer to accept our benevolent generousity and settle for a mere $250.00."

Technology is the only correct way to solve the spam problem. Trying to solve problems in trigger-happy legalese America with new laws is just throwing gas on the fire.
