Texas Goes After Student Spammer

A number of people wrote in with this story: "Count Texas in the growing list of states fighting spammers with CAN-SPAM. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott filed the lawsuits today, charging a University of Texas student (and a cohort in California) with sending out millions of unsolicited commercial emails under the pseudonyms PayPerAction and Leadplex, among others. Spamhaus rates PayPerAction the #4 spammers in the world."

annoying, but not fatal

probably rates as one of the least of yOUR concerns as a planet/population in decline. additional defocus from what the 'real crooks' are up to, which is murder & mayhem for profit.

you'll be modded OT for that, you know.

While a lot of people would agree that yes, you may have a point, it's sometimes best to keep on the subject or run the risk of being called a yammering troll.

myself, I'm holding judgement on CAN-SPAM until the verdicts are actually in. there's a lot of debate on how effective it may or may not be.
