AOL Spammer Given Slammer
http://www.boostmarketing.com/story.php?id=904
Jeremy Jaynes of North Carolina has been sentenced to nine years for spamming AOL users with millions of unsolicited email ads. Judge Thomas Horne has postponed the jail term due to potential constitutional issues of the new anti-spamming law.
The bulk email operator sent 10 million e-mails a day and made around $750,000 dollars a month from his mega spam business. Jaynes is but one of the many major spam merchants who make millions every year from filling our inboxes with junk.
Jeremy Jaynes [is] the head of a lucrative spam business that he operated from his home with help from his sister and codefendant, Jessica DeGroot, and a third defendant, Richard Rutkowski. They said they used phony Internet addresses to send more than 10,000 spam e-mails to America Online subscribers on three days in July 2003.

9 years in jail for spam? thats retarded. its a harmless "crime" in reality. i can't see how time is wasted on this crap.
This means that the feds spent less time putting this guy away than putting eric rudolph, the olympic and abortion clinic bomber, who actually KILLED people, away. talk abotu a wolrd turned upside-down, does spam really HURT anyone?
and once again ill bring up the fact that i throw out about 2 lbs of spam regular mail a day, and that is encouraged by the USPS.
