UK Makes Spamming a Fineable Offense

woodhouse writes "The BBC has an article about the new UK anti-spamming law which comes into force later this year. Under the new law, spammers can be fined up to 5000 pounds in a magistrates court, or an unlimited amount in the crown court. Sadly, prison terms won't be used to enforce of the new law."

    Dear Goatse.cx guy,

    Please go back to stretching open your bottom.

    Thank you.
