Part 3: Address-harvesting software and harvested-address lists – Australia Spam Act 2003

Australia Spam Act 2003 s20: s 20 Do not supply address-harvesting software or harvested-address lists

A person in Australia (an individual present there, or a body corporate or partnership carrying on business or activities there), or supplying to such a customer, may not supply, or offer, address-harvesting software (software built or marketed to search the internet for electronic addresses and gather them), a right to use it, a harvested-address list (a list produced to any extent, directly or indirectly, by such software) or a right to use one. It is not a breach where nothing gave the supplier cause to suspect that anyone planned to use the software or list to send messages in breach of s 16, or if the supplier did not know and could not reasonably have found out that the customer was in Australia (evidential burden on the supplier). Civil penalty provision (lower tier).
