	CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (Public Law No. 108-187, was S.877 of the 108th Congress), signed into law by President Bush on December 16, 2003, establishes the United States' first national standards for the sending of commercial e-mail and requires the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to enforce its provisions.
		Internet activists who work to stop spam stated that the Act would not prevent any spam — in fact, it appeared to give Federal approval to the practice, and it was feared that spam would increase as a result of the law.
		On August 18, 2005, Jason Smathers was sentenced to fifteen months in prison after pleading guilty to the illegal sale of millions of AOL screen names.
