A postal reg allows US residents who aver that they find a junk-mailer's crap obscene to demand that the junk-house refrain from all future mailings. A court precedent says that it's up to the recipient to define obscene, and that each resident's idiosyncratic definitions are above skepticism by postal inspectors. I wonder if this would work with credit-card solicitations?
A little-known Federal law allows individuals to send a Prohibitory Order against companies that are sending unsolicited sexually provocative or erotically arousing mail. The Supreme Court went one step further, allowing individuals to decide what constitutes "erotically arousing" mail. The law makes it illegal for a company to send mail to an individual within thirty days of receiving the Order.
