iRegistrations (Bradley Norrish) in breach of Spam Act?
iRegistrations, which is probably operated by Bradley Norrish and friends, is spamming Australians.
Australian spam is now banned under the Spam Act 2003 , however there is a 120 day grace period designed to give businesses a chance to adjust their procedures to ensure that they comply with the new law.
Given penalties of up to $1.1 million will apply to the sending of illegal commercial spam, I wonder if iRegistrations will keep spamming Aussies after April 11, 2004 (http://www.aca.gov.au/consumer_info/spam/)?
