Porn Spammers Get Five Years Each
PC World is reporting that 'California's Jeffrey Kilbride and James Schaffer of Arizona, have been sentenced to more than five years in federal prison. Both were convicted of conspiracy, money laundering, fraud, and transportation of obscene materials, according to The East Valley Tribune, a newspaper covering the case.' Because sometimes bad things happen to bad people.
We have the death penalty here! Bring'm on down!

"In a perfect world, spammers would get caught, go to jail, and share a cell with many men who have enlarged their penises, taken Viagra, and are looking for a new relationship."
So how bout doing something about these Viagra 79% off October emails I get?
Are you kidding? I got a GREAT deal on that bottle of viagra. You should try it too! Sure I didn't get quite the hard-on I expected, but I got contacted by a friend of the viagra reseller, a Dr. Adewale Johnson from Lagos, who proposes to make me rich. I figure no scratch, no snatch, so I might as well go for it!
Who said spam was bad?

It's a well-publicized fact that Chuck Norris does not use email. This is the only possible explanation as to why spammers are allowed to live.
Redundancy is good And also good.
How am I supposed to fine free teen porn on the internet without their emails? You act like there is some massive search engine where I could type in free teen porn and get hundreds of links or something...sad day today
Or future religions will be based on copious proselytization of porn spam.

Don't taze me, bro!
If you've never been modded as "flamebait" or "troll," you've never tried to argue a minority viewpoint here!
What's the point of buying Viagra if there is no porn? They just got two rabbits with the same stone.
But jail would be a 24 hour a day 365 days a year job. That comes out to 8760 hours a year (plus 1 - 2 leap years, which I'll discount for the purpose of this post). The standard US man year is 2080 hours. So $60,000 per year is $28.85 an hour (rounding up). While their "job" will be $6.85 an hour (because remember they can't go home, or out for pizza, or a night out to the bar, etc at any point in the five years). That comes out to $14,248 at the standard 2080 hours in a man year.

doing time in the Federal 'Pound me in the ASS' prison?
And no computer. Or phone, or CB or anything.
They can live off the land, and that'd be fine. Or they can organize into a farming community, and live well off the land. Or they can cultivate the land, gather all the food that's just sitting there, and trade it back to the government at a fair price for other goods and services-- meat, looms, whole cloth, better tools, soft beds, insulation-- etc.
If they want to brave the wilderness and walk 500 miles back to civilization-- and they survive-- let's count that as a reform. (Though it may be closer to 1000 miles-- who knows?).
If they serve their time and want back, not a problem. Helicopter will be right around.
Or maybe they'll build a thriving farm, a life, a community and maybe a family. And maybe they'll want to stay. And that's just fine, too.
Or they'll all go batshit and kill each other in an orgy of white-collar supremacy and y'know what, maybe that was just meant to be.
No torture needed. No forcible confinement. No tens of thousands of dollars a year per person. They get a new life out of it, the country gets extra usable farm land.
Oh yeah, and if they get convicted again, THEN it's off to PMITA for 10-15. They had their chance.

Yes, 5 years in prison is not nearly enough.
I say a fine of $725 per spam would be more apporpriate.
What's that? Hmm, 1000 billion trillion spam emails sent per month x $725.00 that'd teach them, we really need to send out a message.
BTW I don't own a copy of The Internet myself, but my wife is a guru, she sends email and everything.
