If sending unsolicited mail to someone is illegal, then the Government's monopoly on first class postal services (aka the US Post Office) should be indicted immediately !! So typical for government prosecutors to go after a guy making a living because what he does is unpopular, yet they reserve the right to fill my mail box full with totally worthless and unwanted (paper wasting as well) real world spam. If the State can't get its own house in order they got no business going after private citizens for the same crime they commit on a daily basis all over American. Oh wait i forget the laws don't apply to politicians or government sacred cows like the Post Office, just you and me, and innovative young men who fulfill a service that is evidently quite in demand and a very profitable business. Now if he has committed some kind of genuine fraud well then fine, he should go to jail for it, but if all this guy has done is send e-mail to people who did not "opt in" well tell me how i can Opt-out of the government monopoly mail service that keeps taking up so much room in my trash can ?
