    AOL Wins Judgment Against Spammer

    America Online won a $5.6 million award against a Minnesota man who sent billions of spam e-mails over the service in 2003 and whose case helped lead to legislation to control spam.

    The Minnesota man, Christopher William Smith, 25, was ordered to pay $5.3 million, or $25,000 for every day he sent out spam e-mails, plus $287,059 for America Online's legal fees.

        This is terrific. I just wish it didn't take so damn long to get to court with these cases.

        I hit delete , keep my mouth shut for the most part, but I shouldn't HAVE to .

                his aol lawsuit is the least of his worries.....

                it will be interesting to see how much jail time he gets. if he just gets convicted of the basics, i would say he's looking at about 3-5....

                the variables in this case are that he pissed the judge off and left the country to avoid prosecution...

                  I can't believe idiots who send SPAM to billing@, accounting@, sales@, support@.

                  You're pissing the wrong people off and eventually, you will pay.

                  It's not a matter of If, it's When.

                    The United States Government sends junk mail to my house every day of my life for the past fucking thirty-seven years. At least this spammer wasn't killing trees in the process.

                    Why is it illegal for someone to send email, yet perfectly legal for the Post Office to make a profit sending out junk mail?

                        I can tell you why it is acceptable, not necessarily legal. Because whiney little geeks don't walk outside to check the mailbox. And those who do walk outside and check their letterbox usually have better things to do than complain about useless shit. I swear there is such a huge and awesome world out there, I almost feel sorry for those idiots that have a heart attack over some emails, lol, what a joke.

                            Yes, how unreasonable of him to send spam, that might actually compete with all the spam sent by AOL to its members.

                              Simple - the government makes money off of junk mail, and thus has no reason to make it illegal.

                              The feds don't get a cut of spam revenue, so they have no incentive to keep it legal, especially since the big ISPs are lobbying them for exclusive spamming rights to their own customers.

                                  If you don't like spam, just filter it out or press delete. Don't complain when your inbox gets spam when your mail exchanger accepts said spam.

                                  Spam contributes more to the economy than does online adult, and deserves more respect than it gets.

                                    Depending on what his bank balance is... that could be a pretty harsh judgment.

Spam eats up resources and bandwidth for those of us who actually have legitimate online businesses, and it has cost businesses millions by not being able to send email to their customers because of spam filters.

                                        Yeah and as we all know when companies lose millions on one thing it's never made up, those millions just disappear off the planet. Pretty soon there will only be $2 in circulation in the entire world thanks to spam costing everyone money.

                                        If you don't think spam has produced more money for businesses than it "costs" businesses ask someone smarter than you and listen to the answer with an open mind. Or come on gfy and cry about the magical disappearing millions.

                                          The only 'businesses' that have benefited from spam are degenerates such as yourself that figured it was easier to rip people off with useless penis pills than to go back to shoveling shit for a living.

                                            Did I say I was a spammer? No, so STFU.


                                            Yes, there are many frauds and ripoffs perpetuated by spam, but that doesn't mean that it is inherently evil. Spam is a medium, not a product, and I don't see why we should attack it when it connects millions of buyers to sellers.

                                            If you're so upset about penis pills, why don't you start off on a rant against all the sponsors who advertise their pill programs on this board?


                                            If were going to start marginalizing a viable business, how the fuck can we be upset and not hypocritical when the damn Christian conservatives start marginalizing adult?

And those who do walk outside and check their letterbox usually have better things to do than complain about useless shit. I swear there is such a huge and awesome world out there, I almost feel sorry for those idiots that have a heart attack over some emails, lol, what a joke.
                                                Obviously you don't run a business like I do. The amount of time cutting throught the bullshit emails to find genuine emails; the constant changing of email addresses to avoid spam and no, spam killers don't work, because you spend just as much time looking for emails you don't receive.

                                                If you have 4-6 hours a week to waste sifting through the spam shit...all I can say to you is get a fucking life.

                                                Spammers should be sent to jail for the rest of their lives to be fucked up the arse by the perves.

                                                I could throttle spammers.

                                                      Sending a spammer to jail is a waste of time and money.. they should spend more time with the people that are stealing identity. and no, not all spammers do this.

                                                        money that could be better spent on alot better of things.(border patrol! but thats a diff conversation)

                                                        think back 15 years ago.

                                                        now go to a judge & say

                                                        "we want you to put this guy in jail for sending a peice of mail, that dosent really exist, to a mailbox, again that dosent tangibly exist for longer then that guy who killed a few people"

                                                        can you think of his response.
                                                        want to buy this spot for cheap? it is of course for sale. long term deals are always the best bet. brand0n/ at/ a o l dot commies.

                                                          Computer crime resources are best spent on finding carders and sexual predators, not spammers and kiddies writing myspace worms.



                                                          But then again, this country has a long tradition of locking up falsely convicted people, potsmokers, deadbeat parents, people who don't wear seatbelts, and people who don't pay parking fines.

                                                            Yes, there are many frauds and ripoffs perpetuated by spam, but that doesn't mean that it is inherently evil. Spam is a medium, not a product, and I don't see why we should attack it when it connects millions of buyers to sellers.

                                                            You didnt have to say you're a spammer, its quite obvious. What you fail to realize (or admit) about spammers is that they are leaching off of other companies resources to sell their shit. Which makes them nothing more than thieves. Which is exactly why AOL wins these lawsuits.

                                                              I don't spam people. However, considering we're in the middle of a War on Porn, I'm not going to start marginalizing other viable online services, considering that the porn pushers aren't too well liked themselves.

                                                                  personally i think the war against spam has nothing to do with the end user, no one cared about him before. why would they care now? its all about the government puppetry by the large ISP's who are losing a cut of their ad revenue.

What right is it of any other individual to spam the client base of another company on the subsciption network? Courts figured that out pretty good I would say and have acted accordingly before this case with similer judgements.

                                                                        Fucken thieves. Not just thieves, annoying thieves.

                                                                                      If people subscribed to your service and paid you monthly for it then you may spam them of course but then that is not spam that is opting in. What right is it of any other individual to spam the client base of another company on the subsciption network? Courts figured that out pretty good I would say and have acted accordingly before this case with similer judgements.

                                                                                      Fucken thieves. Not just thieves, annoying thieves.

                                                                                      Not just fucking annoying thieves but possible individuals that send Adult Related content to Minors. There is not really a name for that kind of crime yet...

Your porn is a criminal act in thousands of small cities around the nation you worthless fucking turd. Not only that, you sell content / design knowing full well that it will be listed on TGP's where millions of kids are viewing. You should be shot a) for being so stupid, b) for being a hypocrite, and c) for screwing up all the kids with your filth.

                                                                                            I get about 20-30 spam emails per day, maybe 10 of them end up in my mailbox, rest get filtered. So it's not really THAT bad, but for someone less knowledgable it can be a big problem. For example, my dad before I taught him how to work with the email on the internet, had his account up to 100s of spam emails per day, and that was within only a few months of getting on the internet. At that point his email address was just about unusable.

                                                                                            I have no idea how anyone can keep a straight face and say that everything is "ok" when that happens, and that the solution is to "just delete it."

                                                                                            And even if you look at my 10 emails per day, it doesn't look like THAT much, but if it takes 5 seconds to delete each one, that's about 1 min a day. Over a year, that's around 360 mins or 6 hours. 6 hours wasted sorting through penis pills, porn sites, or mortgage deals that I would NEVER order anyway.
