As much as I dislike telemarketers, the judge might be right. I don't see how telemarketers can be singled out and let politicians and charities continue to call anyone they please with their solicitations. This may all work out for the best. Given the way the public is screaming for the telemarketers' heads on spits, Congress may be forced to overcome the new ruling by passing a loophole-free version of the DNC law.

"
BUT telemarkerters do have to dial your number to activate a ringing tone and they leave misleading phone numbers
phones are a necessity
It's also an interuptance to have an incoming call much like if there were business that could make money off of causing an interuptance in your power or water. " 1) Just like telemarketers having to dial your number, CNN has to send out a signal
2) Whos really more misleading about their motives, CNN or the latest mortgage broker?
3) Walking down the streets also a necessity.
4) Answering someone while walking down the street is also and interuptance. Neither is as significant as an interruption in power or water.

The solution to that is to ban ALL of them! No more preferential treatment! My guess is that Congress will do just that tomorrow, while grinding their molars down to the size of grape seeds, in order to save their political skins.

SEC. 103. CONSUMER OPPORTUNITY TO LIMIT SALE OR DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION.
SEC. 104. CONSUMER OPPORTUNITY TO LIMIT OTHER INFORMATION PRACTICES.
Ok, so this will give us power over people being able to sell our info (I was actually pondering Copyrighting myself).
I would MUCH rather tolerate telemarketing calls then have all these companies/government/people buying my name and data and PROFITING off it. That bothers me more.

Maybe someone should publish the judges home and cell phone numbers, so the rest of us could exercize our right to free speech.

Previously, companies had to have their own "do not call list" but it was hard to regulate when the company says "you never told us to put you on that list". Especially when they evade such requests by Clintonian parsing (e.g. they interpret "take me off your list" as a request to be removed from the comapny's Do Not Call list) and by hanging up before you can finish the sentence "Place this number on your Do Not Call list."

Your rented phone line, and your property are two different things This is not a relevant distinction. Unwanted door-to-door peddlers are required to stay out of a rented apartment every bit as much as they are required to stay out of an owner-owned house.
