SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS AND POLICY.（第二节  国会的发现与政策）
(a) FINDINGS- The Congress finds the following:
    发现——国会的发现如下：
(1) Electronic mail has become an extremely important and popular means of communication, relied on by millions of Americans on a daily basis for personal and commercial purposes. Its low cost and global reach make it extremely convenient and efficient, and offer unique opportunities for the development and growth of frictionless commerce.
    电子邮件已经成为重要和普遍的沟通方式，每天有数百万美国人因个人和商业目的而使用电子邮件。它的低成本和全球送达范围使得它非常的方便和高效，也为无摩擦的商业经济（frictionless commerce）发展和成长提供了独一无二的契机。
(2) The convenience and efficiency of electronic mail are threatened by the extremely rapid growth in the volume of unsolicited commercial electronic mail. Unsolicited commercial electronic mail is currently estimated to account for over half of all electronic mail traffic, up from an estimated 7 percent in 2001, and the volume continues to rise. Most of these messages are fraudulent or deceptive in one or more respects.
电子邮件的便利和高效受到急速增长的大量商业电子垃圾邮件的威胁。据估计，目前商业电子垃圾邮件在所有电子邮件的比例已由2001年的7%增长到一半以上，这一数字仍在继续上升。这些讯息中的大部分在某个方面或某些方面来说都具有欺诈性或欺骗性（fraudulent or deceptive）。
 (3) The receipt of unsolicited commercial electronic mail may result in costs to recipients who cannot refuse to accept such mail and who incur costs for the storage of such mail, or for the time spent accessing, reviewing, and discarding such mail, or for both.
    接收商业电子垃圾邮件会导致无法拒绝接收和存储这些邮件的收件人的成本增加，或者花费更多的访问、评论、抛弃这些邮件的时间，或两者兼备。
(4) The receipt of a large number of unwanted messages also decreases the convenience of electronic mail and creates a risk that wanted electronic mail messages, both commercial and noncommercial, will be lost, overlooked, or discarded amidst the larger volume of unwanted messages, thus reducing the reliability and usefulness of electronic mail to the recipient.
    接收大量的有害的讯息也会降低电子邮件的便利性，增加所需电子邮件讯息的风险，不论是商业的，还是非商业的，都会错过、忽视或抛弃大量有害讯息中的有用部分，从而降低收件人使用电子邮件的可靠性和有效性。
(5) Some commercial electronic mail contains material that many recipients may consider vulgar or pornographic in nature.
    一些商业电子邮件包含有许多收件人认为是粗俗不堪、本质上是色情内容的材料。
(6) The growth in unsolicited commercial electronic mail imposes significant monetary costs on providers of Internet access services, businesses, and educational and nonprofit institutions that carry and receive such mail, as there is a finite volume of mail that such providers, businesses, and institutions can handle without further investment in infrastructure.
    商业电子垃圾邮件的增长使互联网存取服务提供商、商业组织、教育单位和非盈利机构因传送和接收这些邮件而产生了重大的金融成本，因为这些服务提供商、商业组织、教育单位和公共机构的有限邮件能够轻易处理，而不必增加基础设施的更多投资。
(7) Many senders of unsolicited commercial electronic mail purposefully disguise the source of such mail.
    许多商业电子垃圾邮件的发送者有目的地伪装这些邮件的来源。
(8) Many senders of unsolicited commercial electronic mail purposefully include misleading information in the messages' subject lines in order to induce the recipients to view the messages.
    许多商业电子垃圾邮件的发送者有目的地爱信息的主题栏包含误导信息以引诱收件人阅读这些讯息。
(9) While some senders of commercial electronic mail messages provide simple and reliable ways for recipients to reject (or `opt-out' of) receipt of commercial electronic mail from such senders in the future, other senders provide no such `opt-out' mechanism, or refuse to honor the requests of recipients not to receive electronic mail from such senders in the future, or both.
    当一些商业电子垃圾邮件发送者为收件人提供简单和可靠的方式以拒绝（或选择退出）接收诸如此类发送者将来发送的商业电子邮件时，另一些商业电子垃圾邮件的发送者没有提供这样的机制，或使收件人拒绝不再接收诸如此类发送者将来发送的电子邮件，或者两者兼备。
(10) Many senders of bulk unsolicited commercial electronic mail use computer programs to gather large numbers of electronic mail addresses on an automated basis from Internet websites or online services where users must post their addresses in order to make full use of the website or service.
    许多大容量的、商业电子垃圾邮件发送者用计算机程序从互联网上或者在线服务网站——用户必须公示其邮箱地址以获得该网站或服务商的全部服务——自动收集大量电子邮件地址。
(11) Many States have enacted legislation intended to regulate or reduce unsolicited commercial electronic mail, but these statutes impose different standards and requirements. As a result, they do not appear to have been successful in addressing the problems associated with unsolicited commercial electronic mail, in part because, since an electronic mail address does not specify a geographic location, it can be extremely difficult for law-abiding businesses to know with which of these disparate statutes they are required to comply.
    许多州已经颁布旨在规范或减少商业电子垃圾邮件的法令，但是这些法令采用了不同的标准和相关要求。结果是，他们没办法处理这些与商业电子垃圾邮件相联系的问题，部分是因为电子邮件地址没法显示地理位置，因为能难让守法的商业机构知道这些他们必须遵守的全新的法令。
(12) The problems associated with the rapid growth and abuse of unsolicited commercial electronic mail cannot be solved by Federal legislation alone. The development and adoption of technological approaches and the pursuit of cooperative efforts with other countries will be necessary as well.
    与商业电子垃圾邮件的快速增长和滥用有关的问题不能光由联邦立法机关解决。科技方法的发展和采用以及与其他国家合作的努力也是必需的。
(b) CONGRESSIONAL DETERMINATION OF PUBLIC POLICY- On the basis of the findings in subsection (a), the Congress determines that—
    国会的公共政策决定——基于上述发现，国会决定——
(1) there is a substantial government interest in regulation of commercial electronic mail on a nationwide basis;
    在全国范围内规范商业电子邮件，关系着坚实的政府利益；
(2) senders of commercial electronic mail should not mislead recipients as to the source or content of such mail; and
    商业电子邮件发送者不应误导收件人关于这些邮件的来源和内容；
(3) recipients of commercial electronic mail have a right to decline to receive additional commercial electronic mail from the same source.
    而且商业电子邮件收件人有权拒绝接收从同一来源而来的额外商业电子邮件。
