No, Bill, they don't. You don't have a right to safety when you engage
in commerce ignorantly, just as you don't have a right to police
protection. Who says you shouldn't live in a world full of fraudsters
if you don't take your personal responsibility to litigate against
those who defraud you? Most infomercials on tv today are frauds or
scams: weight loss products, cheap exercise machines, beauty products.
Frauders abound in the email world.
