I'm working on a project to build a high quality online spam law archive.
Finding the statutes is easy enough, but in the US you need case law
as well.
So what are the most important spam related court decisions?
Ones that occur to me include:
- Gordon v. Virtumundo (9th circuit sets very high bar to CAN SPAM standing)
- Omega World v. Mummagraphics (falsity must be material)
- White Buffalo Ventures v. University of Texas at Austin (OK per 1st amendment
for government to filter when acting as ISP rather than regulator)
- Intel v. Hamidi (spam is not trespass without real damages)
- Asis v. Optin Global/Azoogle (courts don't like sloppy serial plaintiffs)
- Pallorium v. Jared (CDA protects anti-spam blacklists, state court
version)
- e360 v. Comcast (CDA protects spam filtering in general, federal court)
- Cyberpromo v. AOL (old, but still the case that says there's no 1st
amendment right to have e-mail delivered)
What else should I include?

I'd suggest considering adding in White Buffalo Ventures v. University of Texas at Austin (allowing spam filtering by government agencies)

good thought re white buffalo
If it looks like people are suggesting cases I already listed, that's because I edited their suggestions into the post

Prof.
State v. Heckel, 143 Wash.2d 824, 24 P.3d 404 (Wash. 2001) (statute prohibiting misrepresentation in the subject line or transmission path of any commercial e-mail message sent to Washington residents or from a Washington computer does not unconstitutionally burden interstate commerce), later proceeding, 122 Wash. App. 60, 93 P.3d 189 (2004), review denied, 153 Wash. 2d 1021, 108 P.3d 1229 (2005), cert. denied, 126 S. Ct. 387 (2005) . Jaynes v. Commonwealth of Va., 276 Va. 443, 666 S.E.2d 303 (Va.,2008) (anti-spam statute that criminalized all falsification of email origin statute is unconstitutionally overbroad on its face because it prohibits the anonymous transmission of all unsolicited bulk e-mails including protected First Amendment speech).

A few more important cases.
U.S. v. Kilbride 584 f.3d 1240. That inserting false from information or using false whois information, or using private whois information, is a violation of the CAN-SPAM Act.Asis v. Consumerbargaingiveaways 62. F. Supp. 2d 935, Asis v. Vistaprint, 617 F.Supp 2d 989, and Asis v. Subscriberbase 2010 U.S. Dist. Lexis 33645 all say that you don't need fraud under the California law to avoid CAN-SPAM Preemption.
