Spam e-mails can violate Maryland law, even if they're sent from out of state, a state appeals court judge has ruled. Judge Sally D. Adkins rejected an argument by a New York state marketer who claimed he had no way of knowing that his e-mails would be opened in Maryland. "This allegation has little more validity than one who contends he is not guilty of homicide when he shoots a rifle into a crowd of people without picking a specific target, and someone dies," wrote Adkins.
