Don’t mess with a spammer, you might get fined!
Only in America a victim can get even more traumatized and forced to pay absurdly high fines. Is our legal system a big mockery, a flight over a Cuckoo's nest? Cnet News reports about Mark Mumma, a spam fighter, who received unsolicited e-mail from a cruise vacation company, and posted about it on his website, adding that he will sue the Omega World Travel:
"But Mumma met with an unpleasant surprise: He was the one sued in federal court by Omega World Travel and its subsidiary Cruise.com, which demanded $3.8 million in damages for defamation.
The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the alleged spammers. In a little-noticed opinion issued in mid-November, a three-judge panel acknowledged the e-mail messages in question may have included a false Internet address and a nonworking "From:" address, but concluded that they nevertheless were permitted under the federal antispam law known as the Can-Spam Act."
This is not only absurd, but also totally unjust, which is quite the opposite of what the word JUSTICE should stand for. The whole thing, "alleged" spammers suing a person fighting against one of the most horrible menaces of today's internet, is possible only because CAN-SPAM act sucks big time, and allows anyone to interpret it as one wants.
Once again, we need to make spam illegal, criminal offense, and promote high and severe punishments. I'm thinking 10 years in jail -without internet- would chill out any spammer, don't you?
Write to your congressperson and make them understand this!
Last Friday Judge Leonie Brinkema found me guilty of defamation of character THREE FULL WEEKS BEFORE THE TRIAL IS SUPPOSED TO START.
I originally started taking spammers to court to recover some relief from the courts. I think I’ve had enough releif now. I just want to use my inbox. IS THAT SO WRONG?
spam larla ba??m?z dertte.
It’s looks like, we should avoid messing up with spammers:)
I love spam. Seriously. Love it. It’s probably why I’m fat as a cow.
Spam me!

17 April 2010 : ukmall.net/blog – World email is spam free now with my SPAM THE SPAMMER crusade. I am grateful to British Prime minister and other governments, EXCEPT INDIA, for responding to my complaints and blessing me with this dream achievement. Last team effort by indian telecom companies to rescue THEIR hard disk harvester is still on. Else he is running short of service providers. Would the world be spam free now, despite LONE spammer being shielded by indian government?. Why is government shielding international terrorist? Is he BSNL chief? Is he a minister’s son? Is he TRAI/DOT Chief’s kin? EVERY indian telecom company has his form filled up with photograph.
