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!

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.
