Michigander Beats Spammer With "Junk Fax" Law

Posted by timothy on from the not-standard-for-me-is-so-right-on dept.

TastyWords writes "According to this link, it's possible to apply the 'junk fax law' to successfully sue a spammer in small claims court. For those who are stuck in states which either have worthless (or near-worthless) anti-spam legislation, this creative approach of the law presents a creative method of turning the table on those who choose to spam first and ask questions later. All of the details are available for enterprising anti-spammers!" Update: 02/25 00:30 GMT by T : OK, so it's Michigander, not Michiganian. Too long as a Texon, Marylandite and Tennesseenaut.

      I went to a boarding school for High School. There were a lot of folks from Michigan who attended. They liked to call themselves "michiganders". I always called them "michigeese". For some reason, they didn't seem to like that. And I seemed to get beat up a lot.

    I was hoping to see a title like "Michiganian Beats Spammer With A Baseball Bat". THAT would have been more to my taste.

    He is indeed in Michigan. I look forward to seeing that SOB buried in small claims actions in Michigan.

    Let's see... How many people has he spammed in MI? A few million or so?

    Call it "The Death of a Million Cuts."
