Now all I need is to have the IP address of my local red light and speed cameras.
Of course, I would never have any fun and do something like, changing the time, moving the camera, replacing drivers' faces with pictures of say, maybe Osama Bin Laden, Benjamin Franklin, or the president.
Well, no. I question if their claims of software errors causing payouts is always legit. Not in the case of this guy, but in cases of other people who actually win.
1. Spammers will add to lists and sell it, whether the policy says it would or not.
2. It is still spam, unless you specifically ask for it.
3. The law says that unless they name the "affiliate" then it is not permission.
4. Many don't say "web site and affiliates," but say "partners". In spammer speak, a partner is anyone they sell a list to. In English a partner is someone they have close ties with.
5. I have e-mailed certain companies that hire spammers telling them to stop spamming and provide the information on the spammer, but I start getting spam to the unique e-mail address that I used in the from line.
6. Just because you buy my e-mail address, it does not give you permission to send advertising. If I know someone who slept with Olivia Wilde, does that mean I automatically get permission to sleep with her?
7. And most importantly, he is suing for spam that has deceptive headers and subject lines. No legitimate business should be using deceptive e-mails. What legitimate business hides their identity?
First, there is a defense of mistake. Second, it is not against spam, but spam that has a deceptive subject line or header.
Even if you make a mistake in the e-mail address, should be be offering a free TV, that is not really free, to someone who gave you a business card asking to be e-mailed?
In 2003, I sued Global Web Promotions for their penis pill enlargement spam. Though Global Web was in Australia, they solicited business from California and caused harm in California.

I am currently suing a porn organization, the third time, operated by David Szpak and Emmanuel Gurtler for illegal spamming. (See http://barbieslapp.com/spam/axscharge/axscharge.htm) The main companies are all located off-shore, the US companies were mere shells for the offshore companies. These guys hired Yambo (See http://www.spamhaus.org/rokso/listing.lasso?file=880) to send spam for them. They created two new companies, just after I sued them the first time, but they claimed it was not to avoid my lawsuit but to avoid the Visa anti-fraud/chargeback detection mechanisms.
Under California Law, Business & Professions Code Section 17529.5 it is $1,000 per e-mail.
But, there are two things you forget: (1) that there is a cost; and (2) if many people do it, it will bankrupt the people who are advertised by the spam. This threat may convince companies that will hire spammers to think carefully before hiring a spammer.
That is what they said about the junk fax laws, if you allow people to sue it will create junk fax trolls. I have not seen that, but instead I saw junk faxes become almost extinct.
It used to be, not as much now, that spammers would scrape web sites to obtain e-mail addresses to spam to.
Terms of use are many times enforceable as a contract.
The simple thing is NOT to SPAM!
Just because the DMA bribed enough congress people to get a law passed to allow it in the USA, specifically to override the California ban on the law, does not mean that it is wanted.
There is more to comply then providing an opt-out link.
It does help a little to have some typing speed, but haste makes waste.
The most important factor in programming is not speed, but solid code. If you write lots of code, but the code is buggy, the time to track the bugs will easily eat any time savings gained by speed.
When it comes to debugging, thinking through the problem before trying to trace solve it will save more time then faster typing in the debugger. If by careful analysis, you can rule out 90% of the area of the problem, you have just reduced the time to track the problem by 90%.
If MasterCard and Visa does this for the MPAA, then anyone filing a lawsuit against any company will also name them as a Defendants so that there can be an order that will prevent MasterCard and Visa from processing payments until the Court is happy.
It is really hard to ban removable media given that you can attach a phone and it becomes a USB drive.
Using Windows Terminal Server, or Aqua Connect on the Mac you can prevent anyone from using a USB device, as the data will be on a server, presumably locked away from users.
>Customs is a legitimate and competent part of the government
Really? Customs have become an arm of the MPAA and RIAA.
Yeah, we need CD-Rom sniffing dogs, not monitoring illegal aliens, not enforcing laws that punish employers that hire illegal aliens at half of minimum wage.
We should ban passengers in cars because passengers can distract drivers.
We should ban putting items on the car seat because if you stop sharply, the items can move and that would distract the driver.
We should ban car horns because someone blowing a horn can distract other drivers.
We should ban sirens on emergency vehicles because the sirens would distract drivers from the road in front of them.
We should ban dihydrogenmonoxide because it can distract drivers when it spills inside the car, when it gets splashed on cars, etc. (I'm ignoring that it is a major component of acid raid and that it is found in a high percentage of cancer cells.)
Judges don't want the loser of every case suing for it.
Ain't that the truth.
In California there is a provision of the Civil Code of Procedure, Section 473(b) which permits a mandatory vacation of default of dismissal which results from attorney fault. If the attorney really screws up, the Court must grant this. The decisions of this is so that it reduces litigation that results from attorney malpractice.

If the person wins because of a software bug, the Casino should pay!
It is called Gambling! The Casino is Gambling on the reliability of the software.
Check for the presence of Dihydrogen Monoxide on the person who saw or felt the presence of the ghost.
I have done extensive tests. Every person who has been exposed to a real ghost has traces of Dihydrogen Monoxide on their eyes.
Well, no. I question if their claims of software errors causing payouts is always legit. Not in the case of this guy, but in cases of other people who actually win.
The Universe already exploded, but the Doctor flew the Pandorica into the exploding Tardis so that the universe would be healed.
It worked since we are still here.
This was in 1993, long before e-mail spam became "popular."
Correlation is not causation, my friend.
Actually, dictionary attacks are still alive.
Even so, there are a few things that you forget:
1. Spammers will add to lists and sell it, whether the policy says it would or not.

The California law outlaws deceptive spam.
I have sued foreign spammers.

Customs' duty is still to inspect and/block illegal/controlled items arriving into the USA through its borders.
How is a domain name or files located on a server pointed to a domain name crossing the border?
ICE's job includes enforcing laws regarding the immigration and hiring of aliens.
Lets see, Nicky Diaz, former housekeeper to Meg Whitman, admits on national television that she forged documents and is in this country illegally.
Many employers hire illegal aliens.
Millions of illegal aliens in the country.
States, have enacted their own laws because ICE is not doing its job.
But.....ICE can shut down sites that it thinks might be violating copyright law.
Yes, ICE can't do their job, but they can be given more responsibility.

One important thing about getting out of the number one spot, don't broadcast how you would get out of it on Slashdot.
What is the adage? Throwing code at a problem?
This was a known problem, but they way until it really is exploited to then fix it with something untested and thrown together.
Yep. I feel real good about it and have total confidence in the solution.
Tools to do software development, photo editing, photo album management. Then they can take, edit, and modify their own picures.
Add in perl so they can start learning programming and progress into C and assembler.

Didn't they try to ban blowjobs in cars during the Clinton administration, but there was a presidential veto?
