Dictionary Spammer Fined $55,000 for Spam Attack

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!"

Parent has already been deservedly modded down to "-1, Troll" (though this is one of those cases that calls for options such as "-1, Moron" or "-1, Sleazebag", depending on whether he is defending spamming because he doesn't know any better or because he does it himself).

However, the author has dropped several other equally deserving trolls onto this thread, and has not yet recieved his due for those from the moderators....
