Pick up any
newspaper, and you're apt to see a reference to miscommunications,
confidentiality breaches or explosive courtroom evidence
stemming from the use and abuse of e-mail and the Internet.
E-mail use presents practical business issues when the
communication doesn't achieve its intended purpose because of
ambiguous, ill-considered or imprecise content. E-mail abuse
leads to legal consequences when the communication includes
inappropriate, invasive or inflammatory content or fails to
comply with new laws and regulations.
E-mail
messages and digital downloads from the Internet can contain
offensive, obscene or startlingly candid comments that expose
businesses to large lawsuits. The consequences can range from
embarrassment to outright damage to the company's reputation.
The ease of attaching other computer files to an e-mail message,
while a valuable business tool, frequently leads to inadvertent
and damaging disclosure of confidential communications or trade
secrets.
E-mail is a
wonderful tool for small businesses marketing your services on
the Internet. The new Can Spam legislation imposes significant
restrictions and requirements for any business marketing itself
on the web.
