[QUOTE]A man has been sentenced to nine years in jail by a Virginia judge for sending millions of junk emails, or "spamming".

Jeremy Jaynes, 30, is the first person in the US to get a prison term in a spam case. He is said to have been the world's eighth most prolific spammer.

By selling sham products and services advertised in his messages, he earned up to $750,000 (£398,000) per month.

    It's a pity the sentence is on hold pending the appeal, and that the appeal will probably result in it being significantly cut.

  • Framing someone of spamming does *not* appear impossibly difficult.

    Would you approve of the same punishment strategy (causing irreversible bodily harm) if someone framed you of spamming?

    Asking because if someone framed me, I sure wouldn't appreciate it... although on second thought... perhaps I would later thank the state for liberating me, against my mis-informed protest, from an antiquated appendage contributing to inefficient behaviours and appreciations.

    Perhaps I would thank the state... for liberating me of silly desires and distractions. It could turn me into a more efficient person... who in such situation unfortunately... would devote remaining reserves of ability towards *destroying* the state which crossed my line of tolerance.

    Additionally, if one *does* propose punishing men by cutting off their dicks... one must likewise figure out an equivalent punishment for women -- since otherwise, it would become clear discrimination along lines of gender.

    Max thickness of "twigs" can be 5 cm so one blockhead should go through fine... and if not, [url=http://www.tapiopirttinen.com/Default.aspx?show=36]this[/url] would do the job.



    Or I wouldn't mind using spammers in target practising...

    I'm not being funny mate, but did you;

    A: Think that I was being serious? :p

    or

    B: Are you responding in an irreverent post-modernist "Chris Morris" esque comedic style?

    Shadow, you are taking these boards a bit too seriously at times.....
  • I merely have a rather unreliable sense of humor. It frequently doesn't recognize whether something is meant seriously or not.

    Combined with the habit of arguing with everything I find objectionable... it produces the result that even if people didn't say something seriously...

    ...I still tend to mention why I disagree, just in case I misunderstood. Should results qualify as comedy... that much better.

    That's excellent news.

    Maybe these f*******s now think twice before they start spamming peoples emails with that shit and slowing down the internet.
