Spammers Sue Spamee

Posted by samzenpus on from the read-it-or-else dept.

sebFlyte writes "In an interesting take on the law, some (alleged) spammers are suing some poor chap who got them blocked by ISPs due to the fact they kept sending him spam. According to Spamhaus the company doing the suing is on their books as spammer, and also as a spyware company... If this case goes the wrong way, things could get very sticky for anyone wanting to report spam."

    This is just ridiculous. Clearly there's an issue with the law when something like this is allowed to happen

    I love spam.

    Like traffic congestion. It'll help bring this shithole we call Western culture to overall unbearableness. And only those who lose all sensitivity will survive.
