From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gordon v. Virtumundo, Inc., 575 F.3d 1040,[1] is a 2009 court opinion in which the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit addressed the standing requirements necessary for private plaintiffs to bring suit under the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003, or CAN-SPAM Act of 2003,[2] 15 U.S.C. ch. 103, as well as the scope of the CAN-SPAM Act's federal preemption.
