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."

The punishment for this

should be just as strict as it is for drug-trafficking while in college:

Expulsion and the permanent blacklisting of all federal higher education aid.

Ask yourself if I sound out of line, just for sending a little spam. Then ask yourself if it's out of line to bar someone from financial aid for life for selling a dime bag.

So 33% on death row are white, but 71% of the population is white. Seems like a representative sample.
