Porn Landmines

Porn spam--legal land mine for employers. Federal employment law requires the workplace to be free of sexual harassment--that means employers could be liable for offensive images that appear in workers' in-boxes. [CNET News.com]

So does this mean that if I have a beef with a particular company, all I have to do is spam them with porno and let the resulting lawsuits destroy them? Hmmmmm ....

Perhaps the notion of personal responsibility will return to the vogue someday, but obviously not today.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
