Spammer Fined $2,000 Plus Costs in Washington
berniecase writes "The Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports that Jason Heckel, of Salem, OR, has been ordered (on summary judgment, no less) by King County Superior Court Judge Douglass North to pay $98,000 for sending spam to Washington state residents. Heckel's lawyers say they'll appeal on the basis that Washington's law violates the constitutional protection of interstate commerce."
$98000 - $2000 = $96000
That means the lawyers cost $96000.... $96000.... 96000 M.F. Dollars!
Ok, that does it, I'm sending in my application to Yale right now!!!
He shouldn't have any problem paying the fine.
After all, he got rich on the Internet and you can too.
Hmm, let's see, world government with unprecedented powers or wasting a couple minutes a day deleting email out of my box.
Hard choice.
I've had enough abrasive sigs. Kittens are cute and fuzzy.
They were right after all - you can make money from spam!

Nobody is stopping him from interstate commerce in Washington state, he just cant be deceptive. Oh the horror.
I hope some of the spam went to Bill Gates... His net worth has been hurting lately, after all.
Didn't you know? Bill Gates sends tons of spam. It's how he recruits beta testers for Windows.

I guess he's down to hocking his enlarged penis and breasts on ebay to cover the bill...

International sanctions against countries that do not work to stop spammers. If those don't work, nuclear weapons.

Too bad he cannot pay the fine.
The only guys who actually increased their male package size by 300% are the dudes who are going to [beep] him in jail.

* free Viagra
* your penis being enlarged
* FREE HOT XXX TEENS
* losing 500 pounds in two weeks
* an easy college diploma
* making money very quickly
First you get the Viagra.
Then your penis 'enlarges' ...
I don't know about you, but if I had to keep up with the energy of several wet, horny teens I'd probably drop my spare tire in a big hurry!
What with all the intellectual discourse you'll be having with these teens, a diploma should be a breeze!
Diploma = money. Like, duh?
