Did you guys see this? First ever 2257 bust... and an obscenity bust, wrapped in a CAN-SPAM violation wrapper.

This has little to do with 2257, so any comment from FSO is way off base.Sig too big

Nothing to do with 2257 conner, wake up:
"According to the indictment, Clason, Kilbride, and Schaffer conspired to engage in sending spam ?for their own personal gain, benefit, profit and advantage.? America Online, Inc. received over 600,000 complaints between January 30, and June 9, 2004 from its users regarding spam allegedly sent by the defendants."
Gee, ya think that might be the real reason they got pegged?

I think it's FSC? Although they keep such a low profile, maybe they changed their name and I just didn't notice...Originally posted by BradShawComment

It's the first ever federal 2257 charges, and you think it has NOTHING to do with 2257? Hmmm, interesting position. I hope it's okay with you if I disagree. ;)Comment

Yes they did not just toss the book at them, they picked up and threw the whole damn library.Originally posted by ConnorComment

It certainly seems that way. Charge-stacking is an effective means for obtaining plea deals.Originally posted by After Shock MediaComment

I'd sure like to see those pictures. They often vow to prosecute obscenity but refuse to publicly define it. It would at least be a starting barometer...The four counts in the indictment involving interstate transportation of obscene material stem from the transmission of ?hard-core pornographic images of adults engaged in explicit sexual conduct,? images which ?meet the Supreme Court?s test for adult obscenity,? according to the DOJ?s statement..Comment

This is scary. I guess the stuff about content before June 2005 being safe is bullshit.Comment

Do not know where you got the idea it was bullshit.Originally posted by MrPinks
Could it be they sent hardcore material in the email and did not have a 2257 notice in that email? It would work that way afterall.Comment

No, it's not. Read before posting.Originally posted by MrPinks
The "grandfather clause" is only a compromise suggestion at this point, it's EXPECTED to become a part of the final revision next month.
Until then, if you're not in the FSC, or not compliant with the NEW requirements (licenses, IDs, releases, etc as a primary producer) then you're in violation.

i see why programs don't even bother even talking mail traffic too riskyComment

I think it's a good thing.
These bulkers and this email bullshit fuck up the whole industry. Grandma and Grampa America, joe blow citizens, are getting rightfully pissed at the crap in the email.
The 2257 thing is interesting, but it's typical for a bust like this, they throw the book, then drop the charges later.
I'd love to see a ton more bulkers get popped. You guys think you can hide, but the truth is no-one will be able to hide as info tech matures.Comment

Plenty of programs SAY they don't accept mailer traffic but often not only do, but are the spammers themselves...
More programs than you can count on fingers and toes...Comment

Bingo, first thing I thought. They embedded non-compliant images in the e-mail and could not produce 2257 records for it when asked.Originally posted by After Shock MediaComment

Guess every employee of a major program had better pay heed then. You don't even have to know anything illegal is being done, because they will include you in the indictment . . . even if you don't work there any longer.Originally posted by After Shock MediaComment

BD- I don't know the girl in question, or at least I don't think I do- however how can you know 100% that this said person didn't have accounts in her name and got paid?Originally posted by baddog
I know I have been wrong before about a lot of people I thought I knew pretty well...
Know this much Bad Dog , if the govt named her- she had some shit in her name, period.
Employees don't get named unless they are accessories- it's pretty rare.

don't mean to call "bullshit" here, but after reading the entire writeup this had LITTLE to do with a 2257 arrest but more about SPAM, and obscenity. YES they were also brought up on charges reg 2257 (or the lack thereof) but how much would you like to bet if they had not had 200,000, let me repeate that lol 200,000 complaints about their spam, that they would have been found in the wrong reg 2257?
I know people will bitch about this post, but SO BE IT! it's not hard to take ONE PART of a ENTIRE story and 'spin' it in your own favor.

This is bullshit, its like if you ran over someone with your car on purpose and they slap a no seat belt charge and a speeding charge to the murder charge. They then tell you, if convicted of murder you will spend 20+ years in jail but if you plea guilty to the no seat belt and speeding, then we will gve you probabtion and a fine.
It's BS they wouldn't have gone after them if not for the spam, this really doesn't have anything to do with 2257 other then taking advantage of the situation to try to get some precidence on the books.ICQ: 86364801 Email: will [at] innovativeassets [dot] com

They were arrested for SPAM first and foremost, money laundering secondly, and they threw the 2257 to stack the indictment.Originally posted by tony404
If you have any knowledge of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, every little thing helps.
2257 penalties are zits on the ass of jail sentence, when compared to Money Laundering.Comment

If you're inside the US it's actually pretty stupid to not follow the rules laid out in can spam.Comment
