Article Abstract:
A municipal judge in Charleston, South Carolina, has ruled that pre- recorded messages sent via telephone to answering machines to promote a radio station are covered by the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991. The ruling arose from a case filed by a Charleston resident who received such a message from LM Communications-owned city station 98 Rock. A consumer privacy activist noted that the law is designed precisely to prevent such unsolicited advertising messages.
