Supreme Court Rules Universities Can Block Spam
The University of Texas was within its rights to block unsolicited e-mail coming into its system, even if the e-mail didn't break the law, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled yesterday. The high court let stand a federal appeals court's ruling that the University of Texas did not violate the constitutional rights of White Buffalo Ventures-- a company running an online dating service-- when the school blocked 59,000 of White Buffalo's e-mails in 2003.
