Megaspammer Monsterhut Loses On Appeal

Posted by Hemos on from the victory dept.

Werehatrack writes "Much jubilation was expressed in news.admin.net-abuse.email when it was learned that the long-running court battle between PaeTec and Monsterhut had reached a definitive conclusion on Friday with a New York appeals court finding in favor of PaeTec which finally allowed PaeTec to pull the plug on their least-loved customer's connectivity. PaeTec was actually somewhat restrained in its news announcement on its own website, simply noting that they had won and that they had disconnected Monsterhut."

    It's so simple. Don't include GPL'd source code in your source code and the GPL doesn't affect you. Or is it so unjust that you can't get something for nothing and claim it as your own?

    SP? Suppressive Person? You lost me...

    Anyway, I don't see a problem here. I would be rather curious as to how this whole thing started, as NANAE is not on my list of regular Usenet reading. But it is good that a spammer can't force an ISP to waste bandwidth on them.

  3. Re:12 inch penises are illegal in the US? by Kintanon · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    Yes, sadly many of us have had to suffer through a trimming process to return our penises to the accepted legal limit of 11 inches. The procedure is quite painful and involves a fair amount of screaming. This law has caused a massive "cock-drain" of American porn-stars into other countries with less restrictive penis size limits. The American pornography industry has suffered accordingly with some recent features starring men with less than impressive 6 and 8 inch penises. Please, if you are in the US, lobby your congressman to overturn this heinous law and bring back our former pornographic glory in the US!

    You have to read his sig if you want to read his comment.

    To do otherwise would be theft.
