Spam convictions

"Jurors recommended that Jeremy Jaynes, 30, be sentenced to nine years in prison and fined Jessica DeGroot, 28, $7,500 after convicting them of three counts each of sending e-mails with fraudulent and untraceable routing information"

I just hope that this begins to damn the flow a bit ... it's no longer a consequnce-less crime. All we need now are international agreements [like they can go after a spammer if they spam someone in this country, for example, it would be an extradictable crime and the perpetrators could be tried under British law ... or American etc].

No comments:

"Spend and tax" not "tax and spend"

 I got a response from my MP which got me kind of mad. You'll see why as I reproduce it here. Apologies for the strange changes in types...
