DPPA ruling sinks with marketers

Article Abstract:

The Supreme Court ruling that Congress has the right to enact the Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994 (DPPA) will adversely affect list managers and direct marketers. The Act puts restrictions on the purchase of information contained in driver's licenses and vehicle registrations. The ruling on the DPPA will not have a significant effect on direct marketers in the short term because data will be available until June 1, 2000 and can be used for a number of years.
