First, this isn't about potentially including email in the fax ban. Nevada
recently became the first state to enact legislation with a penalty
specifically for unrequested commercial email. ($10 per message).

The question is, how effective could a law like this be? I'm still trying
to get ahold of the text of the law, so I'm not sure exactly what it
covers, and if they bothered addressing things like spamming an email list
that just happens to have nevada residents (like this one).

I'm particularly curious, because one of the cybersmut spammers is
actually located in Las Vegas, NV.
