A quick definition of Canadian Anti-Spam Law of 2010: Private Right of Action:

The Canadian Anti-Spam Law of 2010 includes a private right of action that allows individuals or organizations to take legal action against those who violate the law. This includes violations related to message content, consent, and software installation, as well as false or misleading information in sender identification or subject line, data mining, and unauthorized access of computer systems. Those who violate the law may be subject to compensatory damages and statutory damages of up to $1,000,000 per day.

A more thorough explanation:

The Canadian Anti-Spam Law of 2010 includes clauses 47-55 that allow individuals or organizations to take legal action against those who violate the law. This private right of action applies to violations of the law's core requirements for message content and "opt-in" consent, as well as provisions related to message redirection and software installation. It also applies to violations of the law's amendments to the Competition Act and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

Examples of violations that can result in legal action include:

  • Sending messages with false or misleading information in the sender identification or subject line
  • Sending messages with materially false or misleading content
  • Obtaining electronic addresses through data mining or automated crawling
  • Obtaining personal information through unauthorized access of a computer system

If someone is found guilty of violating the law, they may be required to pay compensatory damages to the affected parties. In addition, they may be subject to statutory damages of up to $1,000,000 per day.

Overall, the Canadian Anti-Spam Law of 2010 aims to protect individuals and organizations from unwanted and harmful electronic messages. The private right of action provides an additional tool for enforcing the law and holding violators accountable.

I have this professor for a legal analysis and writing for clients class that said you will need a JD and legal experience to get an A. He also grades ridiculously hard but leaves no comments on why you got that grade or what you did wrong. Dude is pissing me off with the whole you are wrong figure it out approach.
