Spammer Fined $2,000 Plus Costs in Washington

Posted by michael on from the to-pay-fine,-click-here dept.

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."

    Good God, don't get me started. I have a strong feeling that the social breakdown in North America is largely due to that fact. Women's lib, minority rights, etc.. etc.. Sure we all have rights, but if the rights of the few cancel the rights of the many, there's a BIG problem.

    How many times a day do you subconsciously think and not say or do things because it MAY offend somebody and it MAY not be politically correct? It makes me ill. I'm not talking about blatant disregard for others, just minor shit.
