California the Place of Sand, Sun and Privacy Rights

Happy New Year to California residents who will benefit from three new privacy laws, that went into effect on January 1, 2005. The new laws include exclusion from the planned 411cellphone directory, a right to sue spammers, and a ban on rental car companies tracking the movement of drivers. Thanks to these new laws life in the Golden State will be a little more private.
