Carmack sent out hundreds of millions of bulk e-mail messages, flooding inboxes and saddling Internet providers with millions of dollars in costs. But it was his use of stolen identities and forged addresses that caused him to run afoul of state prosecutors.
He went to jail for identity theft and forgery. Quote above from article....

stealing identities ? wtf ?Comment

i think they were just looking for something to charge him with. since they couldn't just charge him with 'spamming' they charged him with identity theft. sounds like bullshit. maybe he stole AOL accounts or something. either way it seems like bullshit. i can't believe ppl are willing to lock up ppl just because they send emails they don't want. now if they were doing those ebay/paypal scams, sure.Originally posted by herbal logic

it wasn't the spamming that put him in jail
"Carmack sent out hundreds of millions of bulk e-mail messages, flooding inboxes and saddling Internet providers with millions of dollars in costs.
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.

Can they charge you with a crime for using a fake return address on emails? Maybe they can if that address is owned by someone else?Originally posted by Lane
hmm, is it because of spoofing?Comment
