There are plenty of good reasons to implement a law like this, and this is the best excuse for a reason the FTC could concoct? Holy jesus for *****'s sake. And stuff. - thcanalichio, on 07/17/2008, -2/+1dugg because i always hang up on telemarketers, but i don't want them to get fined!

** No telemarketers were injured or killed during the posting of this message.

- BryanJK, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2the title is a bit misleading, they are suing the telemarketing firm for $75,000 not a single telemarketer
