DEBRIS.COMgood for a laugh, or possibly an aneurysm

One year ago today I published a list of the “do not call” registries across America. It became one of the most popular articles on this site, thanks to inbound links from all over the place.

Today I received an email from reader Stewart Vardaman that contained some very happy news: CO resident David Hakala sued a telemarketer for violating the state’s “no call” law, and settled out of court for an undisclosed amount of cash.

Share the joy! County’s 1st no-call list suit settled; Telemarketing suit pays off

At least 19 US states have set up “do not call” lists, and more are in the legislative pipeline. For more information see my summary, Stop Telemarketing.

(Thanks for the tip, Stewart!)
