Virginia Top Court to Re-Hear Spammer's Conviction

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the a-waffling-we-will-go dept.

arbitraryaardvark writes "Mega-spammer Jeremy Jaynes was convicted in Virginia of spamming in '05, sentenced to 9 years, and lost his appeal, 4-3, at the Virgina Supreme Court. But the court has just ordered a new hearing on whether the anti-spam statute is unconstitutional under the First Amendment. Slashdot previously covered the appeal and the conviction."

    You haven't really hurt anyone or anything, you just irritate people, so we're locking you in a jail cell for half a childhood.

    I can see if he's selling drugs or illegal shit or stock pumping; but to have a law against "spam" raises questions like "what retard thought this was a good idea?"
