Class Action Lawsuit Against Spammer
sfjoe writes "California-based spammer eTracks is being sued by the law firm, Morrison and Foerster (who have a very cool homepage). M & F's press release says they are "...seeking other relief, including attorneys' fees and statutorily authorized damages of $50 for each email delivered in violation of the law, up to $25,000 per day".
California's anti-spam law has already held up under appeals court scrutiny so this may very well be a major setback to the spam industry."
I think spammers should be forced to pay by donating an organ for each
forged header.
Didn't we see this a little while back?

You know, this could be good, vigilante action for profit against spammers, I likes it!

Why has this been happening so much of late? You'd think the slashdot editors would actually read slashdot.

I seem to recall a Simpson's episode where lunch-lady Doris was scooping from a barrel labeled "Snouts and Testicles." Seems somehow appropriate...

My wife recieved an ugly bit of unsolicited email yesterday, our son was sitting with her when she came across it. It was an advertising for a sex site and amidst the text were various pictures including a lady having sex with a dog. Our son had alot of questions when he saw that, questions that i wasnt ready to answer to a 5 year old boy. I checked the properties of the email address, it was sent by jwlhSAM@mail.com. The ip adress was traced (love whois) to a isp in Seol Korea. I sent emails to the address's listed by the ip adress (the senders adress turned out to be fake, SUPRISE!) letting them know my intentions if i didnt stop recieving beastiality pics in my wifes email. Ive given my wife many warnings about using her real email address on the net on ANY website EVER and yet she still is the trusting fool. What the hell do i have to do to keep my son from being shown ladies fucking dogs on the computer? Obviously limiting his web access wasnt enough as we are being sent this crap directly unsolicited. Are there no laws against being sent things like this? Do i get a free ticket to korea to kick the shit outa the guy who did this? Every time this happens free speech starts to lose alot of ground folks. Im a father, im pissed, ill tackle any god damn flame you throw my way over this, and if anybody can find out where the bastard is who did this i will GLADY take this up with him/them directly.
