CyberPounce & Spam

Matt Wolf, a 32 year old former game producer in Los Angeles, hopes to claw back market share, with video games for cats. CyberPounce is a collection of online toys and games intended to amuse felines and their owners.

A congressional committee has yanked the teeth out of The Unsolicited Commercial Electronic Mail Act of 2001, a bill designed to curb spam, leaving it with few consumer protection provisions. Instead of allowing consumers and ISPs sue spammers and apply fines, it only requires that spammers use a legitimate return e-mail address — easy to see the big money pushing those changes through.
