By virtue of my residency in Washington State, the commercial electronic mail messages that I received from your company violate Washington State statute and the new federal CAN-SPAM statute. Neither statute contemplates whether an email is solicited or not only whether or not it violates the relevant statute. Please STOP sending emails to my domain, i.e. gordonworks.com. If applicable, please instruct your agents and/or marketing partners to stop sending emails on your behalf to my domain, immediately. Under Washington law, I am entitled to a private right of action in a Washington State court (or the U.S. District Court in Richland, WA) to pursue 1) statutory damages of $500 per email under RCW 19.190 2) additional statutory damages of $1,000 per email as an Internet Access Service 3) Consumer Protection Act civil penalties of up to $2,000 per email under RCW 19.86.140. Your total liability amounts to $3,500 per email to send email to gordonworks.com Lastly, Internet Access Services can also sue under CAN-SPAM for damages - you may face criminal charges in addition to civil penalties. All of the commercial electronic mail messages that you have sent to me violate at least one prohibition of RCW 19.190.020 (1)(a) or (b) because each of the commercial electronic mail messages: · misrepresents or obscures information identifying the point of origin of the commercial electronic mail message, and/or · misrepresents or obscures information identifying the transmission path of the commercial electronic mail message, and/or · contains false or misleading information in the subject line of the commercial electronic mail message. I am prepared to initiate a lawsuit, if the emails from your company do not stop, immediately. Please instruct anyone that markets products and/or services on your behalf to purge email addresses from my domain.
