Today, came into my inbox a mail from Business World – “Publishing Industry’s moment of Reckoning” it screamed. So obviously i clicked on it. The story was about Dainik Bhaskar and Zee’s proposed English newspaper, HT coming into mumbai, and ToI moving into Chennai.<\/p>\n
What was amusing was the disclaimer at the bottom:<\/p>\n
Since India has no anti-spamming law, we follow the US directive passed in Bill.1618 Title III by the 105th US Congress, which states that mail cannot be considered spam if it contains contact information, which this mail does.
