Spammer

I just read an interesting article about a spammer who got caught:
As one of the world's most prolific spammers, Jeremy Jaynes pumped out at least 10 million e-mails a day . . . . prosecutors say he grossed up to $750,000 per month . . . . Relatively few people actually responded to Jaynes' pitches. In a typical month, prosecutors said during the trial, Jaynes might receive 10,000 to 17,000 credit card orders, thus making money on perhaps only one of every 30,000 e-mails he sent out. But he earned $40 a pop, and the undertaking was so vast that Jaynes could still pull in $400,000 to $750,000 a month, while spending perhaps $50,000 on bandwidth and other overhead . . . . Jaynes' defense attorney, David Oblon, never disputed that his client was a bulk e-mail distributor. But he argued that the law was poorly crafted and that prosecutors never proved the e-mail was unsolicited. He also argued before the trial that the law is an unconstitutional infringement of free speech.

Freedom of speech? What do you think?

Just shoot the butt head. Free speach, as long as it doesn't infringe on any of my rights. .................. :shock:

So when you get your email full of junk mail, is that infringing on any of your rights?

Yes its an invasion of privacy as they have illicitly used a private email address.
