Sending Unsolicited E-mail Across State Borders?
I have a question about sending unsolicited e-mail of commercial nature.
In particular, I am referring to the fact that most countries regulate the sending of unsolicited e-mail. I would like to know whether any of you have studied the law in this regard and whether you could share with me anything related to this matter. I personally reside in the Czech Republic and the national law here must be in compliance with the law of the EU. The law of the EU says in one of its directives (namely the EC Directive) that one must obtain permission of the recipient of the message before the promotional message can be sent. Even though national legal systems vary across the EU, I believe this is the case in most EU countries.
The situation in the USA is quite different, though, as it is possible and legal to send unsolicited e-mail to citizens of the USA but there are certain restrictions that the e-mail message must be compliant with. These are set by the CAN-SPAM Act. For example, the title of the e-mail may not be deceptive, the person must not hide the fact that the e-mail is promotional, etc.
I was wondering whether you could share with me any tips or any pieces of knowledge you possess on this matter.
Also, I would like to ask the lawyers active on the Warrior Forum, which regulation/law would be applicable in a situation where a Czech citizen would reach out to American businesses with a promotional offer (offering his or her product or service). The promotional e-mail would come from the Czech Republic to the inbox of a citizen of the USA or a U.S. company. Would, in such a situation, be the CAN-SPAM Act applicable? Or would Czech law be used instead?
Best regards,
