Um, hoax?
Snopes Link.
Where did you hear about this? I think the ability to get off the list has been around since 2003, but maybe this is finally the REAL deadline?

Heh, it can't hurt to re-register in any case, right? *smile*

Well, I did register a never-used-before email address on the DMA's do-not-spam list. Guess what happened to that email address? ;)
Well if they do that you can sue your local provider for breaking the privacy laws. And if they don't have privacy laws basically your screwed.

Ack, don't scare me, bart!
Well sut i called and registered 2 weeks ago and haven't had any calls so i figured if i was going to get spammed with calls it would have happened by now. And i heard about it through work, the mayors secretary stuck a memo in all our mail boxes since we have phones supplied by the town.
