They are asking for $50 in damages for each spam they receive, up to the maximum of $25,000 per day. Nice to see a lawyer doing something community-oriented for a change (even if they are just trying to make a profit from it)."

    Nice to see a lawyer doing something community-oriented for a change (even if they are just trying to make a profit from it).

    even if? I thought making profits was all lawyers ever did!

    take the enron shareholder lawyers, for example, who will rake in (conservatively) 50-100 Million US.
