Class Action Lawsuit Against Spammer 299
sfjoe writes "California-based spammer eTracks is being sued by the law firm, Morrison and Foerster (who have a very cool homepage). M & F's press release says they are "...seeking other relief, including attorneys' fees and statutorily authorized damages of $50 for each email delivered in violation of the law, up to $25,000 per day".
California's anti-spam law has already held up under appeals court scrutiny so this may very well be a major setback to the spam industry."
I think spammers should be forced to pay by donating an organ for each
forged header.

Ok, it's stupid, but what can you say about this? Cool, I hope they win, spammers suck, do people actually buy into these spam emails? Why isn't it illegal in all states/countries, etc.?
The horse is almost dead, I hope. We've beat it enough.

Oops. So when can we expect a) spammers filtering to avoid spamming law firms, and b) law firms offering e-mail aliasing to avoid the spammers?

The big problem is how can we get at all of the garbage that originates overseas? Half of my spam comes from ".tw"
While it would be nice to get rid of spam, I will miss the daily opportunity to have my penis enlarged.

On the one hand, I want the spammers to die a deserving death. On the other hand, I've worked with lawyers and would kind of like it if there were about 1/100th the number of lawyers we have presently.
I kind of want to fix the whole problem with a daisy cutter or something.
Hmm. Wonder why (Score:5, Funny)
Not only is your target moving...It's picking up speed.
Now I wonder why that is. Could it be that your "target" is trying to not receive your fucking worthles spam? Perhaps they are satisfied with their penis size? Maybe they don't want to about losing 150 pounds in three days? Perhaps the Ladies Quilting Club down at the retirement center isn't interested in tight teen anal sex?

Is this ethical?
I got their resumes from job sites in the area of expertise.
Or I want to buy something from a certain type of service company, I get a list of 1,000 such compnaies off the net, and I request a bid.
Also, I run a website where people can post infor on other people. I think the target has the right to know about this. May I email the subect/target once to give him a heads up?
These are current questions I face.
Thanks for your advice.
