Slashdot Mirror
Another Go At Making Spam Cost Money
wario78 writes: "The BBC is running a story about the law firm Morrison and Foerster which is claiming damages against the spam company Etracks based in California. 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)."
These are either the coolest lawyers in the world or most clueless.
The next Slashdot story will be ready soon, but subscribers can beat the rush and slashdot the links early!
It looks like Morrison and Foerster is suing on its own behalf rather than some other party, and that the spammer had continued to spam even after being warned.
:)
Oops. So when can we expect a) spammers filtering to avoid spamming law firms, and b) law firms offering e-mail aliasing to avoid the spammers?
Only the dead have seen the end of war.
...and win my case? I receive about 3 ads for penis enlargement a day even if I am from the opposite sex.
PPA, the girl next door.
-- I feel better now. Thanks for asking.
Who's the hitech private dick thats a sex machine to all the chicks?
-Mofo!
Who won't let you down when there's spam all around?
-Mofo!
You damn right.
That mofo is one bad mutha-
-Shut your mouth!
I'm just talkin' about Morrison and Foerster.
-We can can dig it!

The first, last, and only tech news site on the net
From the eTracks homepage:
Not only is your target moving...It's picking up speed.
Now I wonder why that is. Could it be that your "target" is trying to not receive your fucking worthles spam? Perhaps they are satisfied with their penis size? Maybe they don't want to about losing 150 pounds in three days? Perhaps the Ladies Quilting Club down at the retirement center isn't interested in tight teen anal sex?

"Outlook not so good." That magic 8-ball knows everything! I'll ask about Exchange Server next.
As a collective sigh of longing sounds over the internet the unthinkable has happened. The slashdot community has fallen in love with a law firm.
Teamwork is a bunch of people doing what I tell them.
I would like to announce that I am sueing Slashdot $50 for each troll post I read each day up to a max of $25,000.
Morrison and Foerster's URL is www.mofo.com.

mods metamodded as "Unfair"
Quick! Go to the old story and repost all the +5 comments as your own!
Michael Loves Me!
And then give them 90% of any money they get from suing over the spams sent to it. But how do I send them this proposal without it being a spam? Im serious!!!
All Troll + "offtopic" mods are meta moderated as "Unfair", because you abused the system.
... by suing spammers.

It's the end of my comment as I know it and I feel fine.
