The price of legal compliance

With New Zealand's new anti-spam laws coming into effect shortly, local businesses are embroiled in the usual compliance issues. Some of which get a review in this article at a local business IT site.

Interesting to see just how much compliance with the new laws is likely to cost. A comment below the article suggests something over NZ$2,000 (about US$1,500) for a typical small business.

I like anti-spam laws because they create a framework for going after spammers and they (sometimes) encourage best practices. But it's sad that those businesses interested in remaining law-abiding, legitimate senders of email have to pay the price for the greed of others.
