As provided in CAN-SPAM, 15 U.S.C.A. § 7710(1) (West Supp. 2003), the FTC has issued a report to Congress about bounties to enforce CAN-SPAM provisions. The FTC has given a green light to the bounties, estimated at $100,000 to $250,000. However, the FTC has thrown in some interesting suggestions such as not tying the bounties to civil suits, not collecting the bounties from civil suit damages, and exempting the FTC's decision about who deserves (or doesn't deserve) a bounty from judicial or administrative review. Even the most ardent bounty supporter should balk at the suggestion of no review, especially considering the FTC decision to limit the bounty to "high-value" information.
