Do Not Call is Blocked

The RIAA at least has some moral justification for their position vis-a-vis unauthorized downloading and sharing.

The Direct Marketing Assocation has none vis-a-vis their clients harrassing us in our homes. This federal court should be overruled and this attitude:

"The Direct Marketing Association and its fellow plaintiffs are grateful that the federal District Court in Oklahoma City understood and upheld the industry's belief that the Federal Trade Commission does not have authority to implement and enforce a national do-not-call list,"
is not echoed by the 50,000,000 households eagerly awaiting October 1.

Update 9/24: BHW explains many of our thoughts on this explicitly.
