Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(a) A person is guilty of the computer crime of failure to promptly cease electronic communication upon request when that person
intentionally, recklessly or negligently, fails to stop sending commercial electronic mail to any receiving address or account under the
control of any authorized user of a computer system after being requested to do so. All commercial electronic mail sent to any receiving
address within the State shall have information to the recipient on how to unsubscribe or stop further receipt of commercial electronic
mail from the sender.
(b) For the purposes of this section, conduct occurring outside of the State shall be sufficient to constitute this offense if such conduct
is within the terms of § 204 of this title, or if the receiving address or account was under the control of any authorized user of a computer
system who was located in Delaware at the time the authorized user received the electronic mail or communication and the defendant was
aware of circumstances which rendered the presence of such authorized user in Delaware a reasonable possibility.
