Spamhaus Responds To Spammers' Lawsuit
ShaiHulud-23 writes "A suit was recently filed by EMarketersAmerica.org, a fledgling secret organization of spammers, against the Spamhaus Project, (and other anti-spam sites) seeking to prevent the publication of the anonymous plaintiffs' IP addresses in the Spamhaus Block List (SBL). The suit requested a response from the named defendants, and Spamhaus director Steve Linford has provided one, dismantling the spammers' case point by point."

we're in effect giving an anti-spam company a DDOS with the /. effect. way to go, guys.
... if I go to Florida and take this guy out. not only does he defend our favorite utility meat, but he's a lawyer. that has to be, like, an 11th commandment in some religion.
vodka, straight up, thank you!

Everyone hates spam... and that includes e-mail marketers.

Obvious??? This is supposed to be obvious to the guys who think I need a merchant account to access my home mortgage to enlarge my goods for that date with the girl from the e-card whom I can buy prescription drugs for, should she get a migraine from trying to sorth through all her "legitimate" emails in a day?

You know what to do!
CmdrTaco, could you hire this guy? He actually recognizes and corrects typos. Thanks in advance.
"Sufferin' succotash."
digitally date-raping whoever they can find. (And, yes, I use that word... please, I get emails about enlarging my member on a daily basis, and I'm a WOMAN, for crying out loud.
Sorry, that is not the same. Getting email about enlarging your none-existent dick is not the same as forced sex.
How many subscriptions to Playboy, TV Guide, Reader's Digest, GQ, Time, Newsweek, US News and World Report, Business Week, etc. do you think he needs? :-)
Sorry, that is not the same. Getting email about enlarging your none-existent dick is not the same as forced sex.
Um... wait.... I know this one....
Forced sex is the better one, right?
Thanks a lot! His office is between my house and job and now my commute time's going to double because of all the mail trucks converging on his office. :-)
Trouble making decisions? Just flip for it.
We recently had heard in the office over one of the Yellow Machine that's made by Anthology Solutions.

actually, because it's a florida court that means that they just have to avoid florida. so theoretically, if the spammers were to win, when they asked steve linford what he was going to do after he stopped spammers he couldn't say "i'm going to disney world!"
I never said I was smart, I just said I was smarter than you
Steve Linford is the director of Spamhaus. Steve Linford has absolutely nothing to do with SPEWS, nor would it be feasible for him to run two separate anti-spam organizations. Aside from the madness of doing so, Steve Linford does not agree with the methods and policies of SPEWS. He does however support SPEWS' right to exist.

Does that sound mysteriously like Monty Python to anyone else?
Judith: I've got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can't actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody's fault, not even the Roman's, but that he can have the _right_ to have babies.
Francis: Good idea Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your _right_ to have babies, brother....err....Sister, sorry.
Reg: It's symbolic of his fight against reality.
1. Now that his address has been posted to Slashdot, how much snail mail do you think Mr. Feldstein is going to get next week?
2. Does anyone else think it's a coincidence that the site that comes up first when you google for "free catalog" (cabelas.com) is running rather slowly right now?:)
Demand for Jury Trial
Plaintiff, EMARKETERSAMERICA.ORG, INC. hereby makes a demand for a jury trial of all counts so triable.
Sweet, these morons *want* a jury trial.
Jury: "Your honor, we find the defendant SpamHaus et al. innocent on all charges, and furthermore recommend the public castration and/or execution of the plantiff & all it's members.
Judge: "Sounds good to me."

There is a war going on for your mind.
Care for a trade then? I'm a guy and I get numerous breast enlargement spams these days. (I knew it was a bad thing to claim I'm female on those online forms years ago...) With our combined spam, I can finally have my 50 foot penis and you can have a ZZZ372 cup! (back aches included)
Hate me!
... somewhat like this:
You put all of your money into a big pile. Your opponent puts all of his/her money into another big pile. Then the lawyers come along and start tearing up the money piles. Whichever lawyer finishes first loses.

Now that would be just wrong. I would never get a satellite image of Boca Raton, find the address on MapQuest, then indicate Ground Zero and a suggested blast radius. Goodness me, no... (This is far enough downthread that I'm not going to get the admin pissed off, right? Right?)
