Australian Spammer Sues Back

The whole article is over at Yahoo. So, I guess now, not only are we subjected to the spam, but we can't block it either?"

    Ok, so maybe the company that is suing isn't the greatest example of someone expressing free speech, but systems like SPEWS (which is implicated in the article) and especially MAPS are responsible for furthering the political aims of the administrators of the system just as much as they are for blocking legitimate spam.

    I think SPEWS deserves this lawsuit. Even though they are a real marketing company, they can set a precedent that allows individuals who really were censored by these flawed anti-spam solutions to air their grievances in a court of law. Bravo, T3 Marketing.
