The spam king is back, and his new recipe clicks on changing Net

Article Abstract:

Sanford Wallace was banned from cyberspace for sending unsolicited advertising e-mail. His Cyber Promotions mailings would clog ISP servers, so the services denied him an account. Now his new site, www.smartbotrpro.net allows advertisers to set up an email account. Whenever a user sends an email to one of these acounts, it automatically sends a message back promoting the advertisers' goods and services. In December, Mr. Wallace estimates earnings at $400,000, on 600,000 accounts. In 2000, he hopes to earn $5 million.

Software-warranty law spurs fears we'll soon see bugs everywhere

Article Abstract:

The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act, or Ucita, would make legal the long list of protections against liability, on software. Critics say that Utica will harm consumers' rights by setting up rules on warranties that would not be as strict as rules on other products. This could encourage manufacturers to use software everywhere so as to minimize their liability for their products.
