The Spam Act 2003 was passed in 2003 as federal legislation by the Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia. The first portions of the act came into effect on 12 December 2003, the day the act received Royal Assent, with all remaining sections of the act coming into force on 10 April 2004. Its purpose is to set up a scheme for the regulation of commercial e-mail and other types of commercial electronic messages. It restricts spam, especially e-mail spam and some types of phone spam, as well as e-mail address harvesting, however there are broad exemptions. It is enforced by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). == Outline == The key points of the act provide that: * Unsolicited commercial electronic messages must not be sent unless it is a designated commercial electronic message defined at Schedule 1 of the act. * Commercial electronic messages must include information about the individual or organisation who authorised the sending of the message. * Commercial electronic messages must contain a functional unsubscribe facility. * Address‑harvesting software must not be supplied, acquired or used. * An electronic address list produced using address‑harvesting software must not be supplied, acquired or used. * The main remedies for breaches of this Act are civil penalties and injunctions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Spam Act 2003」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
