Forbes Sympathizes with Poor, Abused Fax.com

An anonymous reader writes "Forbes invites sympathy for Fax.com and other junk faxers who are apparently being victimized by 'a small army of plaintiffs, attorneys and self-appointed activists', and Forbes particularly takes aim at 'the high-tech ambulance chasers' whose offenses include providing 'step-by-step instructions on Internet sites, printable legal forms and names of attorneys who specialize in the trade' to individuals who've received illegal junk faxes and want to do something about it. Because of these nasties Fax.com is 'all but out of business' and Forbes seems to be worried that email spammers might share the same fate. Help, I think I've fallen into a parallel universe."

Yeah, Right michael, it was by "anonymous"

It's funny how every article posted by michael - no matter who it is attributed to - has the same blithe anti-capitalist anti-american slant. I am so sick of seeing slashdot turned into leftdot, why can't michael take his TROLLING behavior somewhere it's appreciated - like kuro5hin?

WHAT KIND OF JOURNALIST THINKS "ALOT" IS ONE WORD?

Was there a flag waving the background as you wrote that? Look at US invasions the past century, then throw in the country where they didnt go in militarily but controlled the outcome (ex: Sept 11th in Chile) and come back to me about free world.

When you pass the nazis and commies for the amount of countries youve bombed, I think the word freedom becomes a joke.

In all fairness, that was a small excerpt from a fine post.
