Day 25: spam outline

My group consists of Dawn, Julia, and Me. We are Team 6- Spam. Our presentation will look something like this:
-Julia- what is spam? who clicks on spam? what money is made from spam? famous spammers?
-Me- is spam legal? recent cases in the news. difference between spam and junk snail mail.
-Dawn- Spam in relation to telemarketing. How do you find out who is sending the spam? (using the url). How do you get rid of spam? ways to protect against it.

We will each expand on our areas and add anything from new areas we find. My best sources so far are:
