Another spammer bites the dust. Another spammer bites the dust. And another one gone. And another one gone. Another spammer bites the dust!

Judge David Coar of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, has also ordered Sili Neutraceuticals and owner Brian McDaid to pay nearly US$2.6 million for allegedly making false advertising claims and sending e-mail messages in violation of the FTC Act and the CAN-SPAM Act.

They should give them 10 years in prison on top of the fine and the fine isn't large enough.

Annoying people with advertisements does not deserve 10 years in prison.

A $2.6 million fine is very effective, because there is no way he made that much spamming.

its not about punishment as much as it about deterrent.
 
what is the ratio of:

riaa "people captured" to spammers "captured"?

I find it funny that we see at least 10 articles about innocent people being tried for thousands of dollars before we see one spammer who sent out millions of spam, often pornographic to minors... and we'll see maybe one get caught.

wtf.

I think its odd that we let men send millions of viagra, sex and porn ads to minors in america but if someone's grandchild downloads an mp3 on their pc they are going to hell.

what gives?

I have to agree. It's utter bullshit. I guess the music industry lobbyists have pushed to get the governments priorities all backwords.
 
Well, I guess it's a good start.

Now they need to catch the remaining 4 million other asshole spammers...
 
i dont know they should make them take a viagra pill for each spam i have go in my inbox not caught by imail.
 
Is it just me, or is the whole snake-oil business completely out of hand these days?

And you guys know what I'm talking about. "Snake Oil" just happens to be a fitting name...
 
When they are outright lying to people to steal their money, you bet your bippy they deserve jail time.

We're not talking about someone speeding, or someone jay walking. This is an act that takes effort over months or years to commit. I see nothing wrong with this type of criminal activity being accompanied by large amounts of jail time.
 
But then they would get a cushy jail cell.. probably with Internet access.. and then they could just spam from there.

But yeah... scammer spammers should get lots of jail time.... either that or take one viagra pill for each spam they sent out... that should be a good enough deterrent.

You have that backwards.

The rest of the inmates take one viagra pill a day before shower-time, during the spammer's sentence.

THAT, would be a GREAT deterrent. Spam people, get loved tenderly in prison.

ROFLMAO, that's a great idea.

As far as the amount of jail time, yes, spammers deserve large penalties and axe murderers need life without parole or the death penalty.

The way I see it, the music industry invests more in suing anyone and everyone, whereas spam hunters are either non-profit or get paid little or government salaries. The music industry is it in all for profit, but anti-spammers are about minimizing the losses/costs from spam.
