We all know that companies violate their privacy statements all the time. Well, Eliot Spitzer, the New York Attorney General is doing what any good state AG should do, sue the bastards.

This is the way to fight spam, by forcing companies that gather email addresses for legitimate purposes to obey their own damn privacy statements. Anything else is fraud perpetrated against millions of consumers. I hope he sues these people out of business.

I say, Spitzer for NY Governor in the next cycle (Pataki is out and Spitzer is killing in the polls), then president in 2012.
