'Spam King' Released From Prison, Now Lives In Seattle

Posted by timothy on from the stocks-and-pillories-by-pike-place-market-please dept.

dmmiller2k writes "Apparently, after 'nearly four years in prison, the man dubbed the 'Spam King' by federal prosecutors, is allowed back online.' I wonder if there's some variation of Megan's Law requiring him to register with the local police department and notify all his neighbors with computers?" I sure hope any potential employers google "Robert Soloway" and find "Spam king" high on the results list.

    With junk mail:

    -- you pay for the paper
    -- you pay for the printing
    -- you pay for the fulfillment
    -- you pay for the postage

    You as the sender have a strong incentive to not be wasteful. That's not at all the same as spam.
