An index of SPAM laws by country

[Anonymous]

I'm hoping to find an index of SPAM laws by country with details on opt-in requirements and email marketing guidelines. Ie. For each country, there'd be an explanation of whether or not opt-in is required before you can email users based in the country. Does anyone know of such a resource? I searched the Community but came up short. 

Thanks,

David

There are some useful links in the answers.

However do also keep in mind that the European data laws will be changing and becoming even more tight over the next two years. There are some useful web links on this discussion: Changes to European data law

I haven't found anything in Marketo but these are the resources that I refer to on a regular basis:

Opt-In Laws in North America and Europe

Canada’s Anti-Spam Law (CASL) FAQ

Are You in Compliance? Europe’s Spam and Cookie Directives

Was this ever addressed by Marketo?

This is a great idea. I am not aware of such a resource provided by Marketo. Could you please also post this as an idea?
