Accused Spammer to Debate SpamCop Founder

Weezle writes "Wired News is reporting that OptInRealBig's Scott Richter is going to debate SpamCop's Julian Haight in public next month. Richter had the nerve to file a lawsuit against SpamCop recently claiming that the blacklist keeps his company from sending out 'marketing messages.' (in lay terms, spam) Not surprisingly, Richter himself is being sued for $20 million by NY Att. General Eliot Spitzer. Sounds like it's going to be a real nasty fight."

Frightening is right. The Martin act shure looks unconstitutional on the basis of that article. Still I'd have to read it for myself and think a bit to have a solid opinion. IANAL, but then I think if you need a lawyer to figure out wether someone can forced to secretly tesitfy against himself, without counsel, (as the article seems to indicate) then eigther your stupid, or the system is FUBAR.
I'm not betting on stupidity here. (wait did I really say that?!?)
