UK Makes Spamming a Fineable Offense

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the get-your-punish-on dept.

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."

    First post!

    I am the best first poster, ever created. I even created some C++ script code for this special moment:

    #include
    void main(){
    cout"hello world1";
    return 1;
    }

    If only I could steal someone's subscription...

    Oh, and just so noone will mod me for anything else than trolling: If you do, you are a fagoat.

    Thank you for your valuable input. Unfortunately your writing isn't up to the calibre that the highly focused slashdot readers demand.

    Dear Grubworm,

    Please learn to spell caliber.

    Thank you.
