But it was his use of stolen identities and forged addresses that caused him to run afoul of state prosecutors. New York has no state laws specifically dealing with spam, according to the Web site Spamlaws.com, and a national anti-spam law was not yet in place when Carmack was arrested a year ago. "
its clear lots of people did not read much of the article. and btw did you guys not know identity theft is one of the number one growing crimes? ive read a txt about it and it is unfortunately easy it could happen to any of us
