If you haven’t heard by now, the new Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) goes into effect today, July 1, 2014. It is intended to increase consumer confidence in online commerce as well as protect against spam and malware. It prohibits the sending of commercial electronic messages without consent and the installation of computer programs without consent. Keep in mind…
