   remedies  for  violations.  Provides that, if the Attorney General has

   goods  or  services  from, or otherwise responds electronically to, an      
   offer in a transmission of unsolicited commercial electronic  mail  is      
   deemed   to   have  authorized  the  initiation  of  transmissions  of      
   unsolicited commercial electronic mail from the person  who  initiated
