New York Spam Ring Lawsuits

Iphtashu Fitz writes "Microsoft and the Attorney General of New York have announced multiple lawsuits against what they term as a spam ring operating throughout New York and responsible for sending billions of illegal junk e-mail. According to articles at ABCNews.com, CNet News.com and elsewhere the state of New York has filed 6 lawsuits against alleged notoriuous spammer Scotty Richter and accomplices. Richter is well known among the anti-spam community, holding the dubious distinction of being ranked number 3 on the Spamhaus Registry of Known Spam Offenders. Microsoft has seperately filed 5 other lawsuits."

    naa...Bush dosen't know how to use a computer or what spam is. I dont think he would play that card until "national security" is at stake, like if someone insulted his daddy or if exon dosen't make as much money as the year before or if he thinks that he isn't going to win the next election....you know, stuff like that that is really important to this fine nation.
