"Court of Special Appeals Judge Sally D. Adkins sided with a law student 
who argued that he could sue a New York e-mail marketer who had sent him 
advertising messages."

...

"Maryland was one of the first states to try to control junk e-mail 
through legislation, and its 2002 law predates the 2004 federal CAN-SPAM 
Act. The federal law superseded most state laws unless they specifically 
addressed deceptive or fraudulent e-mail, which Maryland's does."
