Journal and Courier Online - Editorial: "No-call law benefits trump its concerns

One of the most effective recent pieces of Indiana legislation withstood another legal challenge last week, protecting Hoosiers from unwanted telemarketing calls.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit on Friday unanimously affirmed a District Court ruling that supported the constitutionality of Indiana's Telephone Privacy Act, commonly known as the 'no-call list.'

The law allows Indiana residents to register their phone numbers on a list that telemarketers must consult before making unsolicited telephone sales calls or calls made by professional fundraising firms soliciting charitable donations."
