Spammer gets 9 years in the hole |
He’s appealing of course, but nine years is a pretty good slap on the wrist for Jeremy Jaynes. 
Jeremy Jaynes was convicted in November for using false Internet addresses to send mass e-mail ads through an AOL server in Loudoun. Prosecutors said Jaynes sent more than 10,000 spam e-mails over three days in July 2003 from his Raleigh, N.C., area home, using the Internet to peddle sham products and services such as a “FedEx refund processor.”
It’s spammers like Jayne who have clogged up all our email inboxes for far too long. He should be forced during those nine years to sift through the email boxes finding false positives. Manually. Over and over and over again.
Did this post make you go hmm?




I hate spam as much as the next person and would be lying if I said I felt sorry for this dude. That said justice shoud be just this guy didn’t beat someone to death or rape someone. All he is guilty of (aside of nicking bandwidth and computing resources) is annoying the hell out of people and wasting there time.
