Spammer gets 9 years  by Craig D at 15:48

This is interesting to say the least, it's about time some of these low lifes got what they deserve.

A North Carolina man was sentenced to nine years in prison for sending hundreds of thousands of unwanted e-mail messages, Virginia prosecutors said Wednesday.

I doubt it will cure the problem however, most likely just move it elsewhere.

Everyone hates spam, 9 years though... id had thought a big fine and a few years would have been enough unless he did something particularly offensive in those emails or got peoples bank details or something

It is Harsh, but I doubt it's in a maximum security place, or hard labour, and you know he'll be out in 4 or 5 years. Still, vry harsh.
