Do Not Call
The Federal Trade Commission is out to fix telemarketing with a nationwide do not call list. Even if the thing survives promised court challenges, enough exemptions will exist—for charities, political campaigns, and "existing business relationships"—that your phone will still be ringing off the hook. And we will be spending about $15 million a year for the FTC's registry.
Can't we just stick with civil judgments and violent threats of dismemberment as remedies?
