Re: Enjoy
Did you guys actually READ the story (past the headline)? SPAM was NOT the major issue here. Fraud was. He used SPAM to sell a bunch of fradulent goods.. making $24M in the process. He did not get 9 years in jail for simply sending unsolicited e-mails.
I get SPAM every flippin day in my postal mail. That's not illegal... and no one seems to object to that. As much as I too detest e-mail SPAM, it should not be illegal.

One big fundamental difference between junk mail and spam: who bears the cost. The junk mailers pay for the printing and sending it to my trash can. Spam is a very different story. Spammers pay very little to send out bulk E-mail. The backbone providers, ISPs and ultimately you and I pay for the bandwidth, storage and administration that is needed to handle the spam. It's fundamentally unfair that I should be required to pay for something that I don't want. It's the same logic that makes sending junk faxes illegal. It's my dime not the senders. |

What percent of spam do you think is legit and not a total fraud? I would say it is very close to ZERO. Could it be the prescription drugs without a prescription? Could it be the "increase in length and girth?" Maybe the zero percent mortgage??? Get real. Little if ANY spam is for a legitimate product. |

Jeremy Jaynes is a scumbag spammer, who illegally takes advantage of naive internet users.
"A North Carolina man was sentenced to nine years in prison for sending hundreds of thousands of "spam" e-mail messages, Virginia prosecutors said on Wednesday. Jeremy Jaynes, of Raleigh, North Carolina was found guilty under a state law that sets limits on the number of e-mails marketers can send in a given time period and prohibits them from using fake e-mail addresses, state Virginia State Attorney General Jerry Kilgore said.
