I'm not arguing that the sentence wasn't fairly extreme.

I'm arguing that any guy who is making millions of dollars spamming through proxies, apparently using email lists stolen from AOL, and is doing it from North Carolina gets what he deserves. If I had 24 million bones, I'd at least do it from an offshore setup.

I agree that there are bigger issues in the world than spam, but thats not really the point. There are bigger problems in the world than traffic violations too, but those laws still get enforced.

TheJimmy/Anthony_A, which part of my post was stupid? That I think the idiot got what he deserved? "You are dumb" isn't really a good counter-argument.

This guy got a large sentence to make a point. If he got busted hard for spamming and got 3 months, and made 24 million bucks; who would that deter?

9 years obviously has the spammers thinking a bit.
