Dictionary Spammer Fined $55,000 for Spam Attack

Posted by michael on from the small-price-to-pay dept.

Lawrence_Bird writes "In a first, a Japanese district court has ordered a spammer to pay restitution to NTT DoCoMo for abuse of their imode system. 'The damage caused by large amounts of e-mail not reaching their destinations should be covered by the sender,' said the judge. The fine is about $55,000 and was based on an estimated cost to NTT of 1.2 yen per undelivered spam ($0.01) for the 4 million spams that were undeliverable. What is most startling is NTT DoCoMo assertion that of the 950 million emails they receive each day, 880 million are not deliverable!"

    I have to pay for someone elses shit showing up on my cell phone ($.02/message), or have to pay for bandwidth download messages ($1.50/min via satellite phone connection). So fuck the SPAMMER, he can send me all the advertising me wants as long as he reimburses me for bandwidth, time, wear-and-tear, etc. costs. People like you are fuckwits and should be shot for those ideas.
