How much does spam cost?

01.06.06

How about $11 Billion in fines after sending 280 million illegal spam e-mails. You just have to smile and say that it’s about time. The excerpt below is from MSNBC:

CLINTON, Iowa – An Internet service provider was awarded an $11.2 billion judgment against a Florida man for sending millions of unsolicited e-mails advertising mortgage and debt consolidation services…”This ruling sets a new standard,” Kramer said in a statement. “Gross abusers of e-mail risk exposure to public ridicule as well as the economic death penalty.”

It’s interesting, but ever since I posted this article about spammers getting fined…the post has been getting spammed through TrackBack. That’s alright…Wordpress 2.0 has spam protection.
