Read a random definition: lecherwite

A quick definition of Canadian Anti-Spam Law of 2010: Message Redirection and Software Installation:

The Canadian Anti-Spam Law of 2010 has rules about two things related to electronic messages: (1) changing the address where a message is sent without permission, and (2) sending software for download through a message. Changing the address is only allowed if the person receiving the message agrees or if a court says it's okay. Sending software is only allowed if the person receiving the message agrees and understands what the software does. Telecommunications companies are allowed to do some things without permission.

A more thorough explanation:

The Canadian Anti-Spam Law of 2010 has two clauses, 7 and 8, that deal with electronic messages. The first clause is about message redirection, which means changing the address where the message is sent. This is only allowed if the sender has given permission or if a court has ordered it. The second clause is about sending software for download through electronic messages. This is only allowed with the sender's permission, and they must clearly explain what the software does.

Example 1: A company sends an email to a customer, but the email is redirected to a different email address without the customer's permission. This is illegal under the Canadian Anti-Spam Law.

Example 2: A company sends an email to a customer with a link to download software. The email clearly explains what the software does and asks for the customer's permission to download it. This is legal under the Canadian Anti-Spam Law.

These examples illustrate how the Canadian Anti-Spam Law regulates message redirection and software installation through electronic messages. It is important for companies to follow these rules to avoid legal consequences.
