The Utah Act also flouts federal CAN-SPAM legislation; ignoring the fact
that Congress determined spam legislation must happen at a national level
to provide a common platform for standards. Tragically, instead of creating a stronger
standard, the Utah registry undermines CAN-SPAM and greatly increases the
risk to the very children it claims to protect.

Today, the Email Sender and Provider Coalition

Utah Child Protection Registry Act in conjunction with the American
Advertising Federation, the American Association of Advertising Agencies,

statements follow this press release.

"We selected Blue Coat due to the comprehensive capabilities, ease
of deployment , management, and overall flexibility and power of its proxy
appliances. The ProxySG has patented proxy caching technology and enterprise
policy controls, which are a powerful combination for achieving high levels of
performance while strictly enforcing Web access policies. The broad language in this
bill could also chill speech in all types of electronic communications. On its face, Utah's law could encompass services
such as body piercing, as that requires parental consent; hotels and credit
cards, as minors can't legally contract for them; or car rentals, because
minors don't get a full license until age 18.
Spammers, phishers and other fraudulent senders are rule breakers and will
not comply with the legislation.

"Only a proxy infrastructure has the power to simultaneously control,
protect and accelerate Web communications and applications," said Steve
Mullaney, vice president of worldwide marketing, Blue Coat Systems. The Act requires email marketers to "scrub," or compare,
their lists against the registry for a fee and implements enforcement
methods for any senders who do not comply.

ProxySG With WebFilter Provides Intelligent, Granular Control of Web Traffic
and Applications While Delivering Significant Savings in WAN Bandwidth

SUNNYVALE, Calif. We are also pleased with our network performance , already seeing
a significant WAN bandwidth savings with the Blue Coat proxy appliances. This registry , which has time and again been determined to be
fundamentally flawed, is in no way worth the financial risk."

Adonis Hoffman, Esq.

Unlike standalone filtering lists that only provide URL site blocking , the
Blue Coat "on-proxy" solution enables granular control to allow or block
content based on various criteria with a wide range of operational options,
including inserting, deleting, limiting , redirecting or transforming various
content objects. The
registry does not monitor who downloads their lists and so predators,
pedophiles and other fraudulent senders can easily extrapolate the email
addresses of minors, resulting in the exact opposite of what the Act
intended. This registry will do nothing to protect children and will in
fact put them at even higher risk of being preyed upon via email."

(Nasdaq: BCSI), the leader in secure content and application
delivery, today announced that the State of Alabama Information Services
Division (ISD) has deployed Blue Coat proxy appliances as the foundation for
its Web infrastructure .
To maintain quality and control over its business-critical Web
infrastructure, Alabama sought a comprehensive solution that could both
control user access to specific Websites and protect against liability risks
from the unintentional introduction of damaging content through email,
peer-to -peer (P2P) communications, and Instant Messaging (IM). "We're
pleased the State of Alabama chose Blue Coat to help make its Web environment
and Internet use safe, productive and with the highest quality and
responsiveness.

The group of
organizations demonstrates a united voice across the online industry
against email registries. "The fact that we have come together
so strongly is testament to the gravity of our concerns about this Act. Worse yet, the email
registry is as likely as not to expose children to more unwanted spam or
other email from unscrupulous parties . Not only are we concerned that the legislation
will do little to protect children from harmful images and messages, we
fear it could actually worsen the problem, and in the process badly tangle
the rules governing Internet communication.

One of the state's requirements was a content filtering solution with
