Two are Sentenced to 5 Years in Porn spam case

Two Are Sentenced to 5 Years in Pornographic Spam Case

PHOENIX, Oct. 13 (AP) ? Two men who sent millions of unsolicited pornographic e-mail messages have been sentenced to more than five years in federal prison as part of a prosecution under a federal antispam law, officials from the Department of Justice said Friday.

The men, Jeffrey A. Kilbride of Venice, Calif., and James R. Schaffer of Paradise Valley, Ariz., bought lists of e-mail addresses and sent the owners of those addresses links to pornographic Web sites, prosecutors said.

They were convicted in June of charges including conspiracy, money laundering, fraud and transportation of obscene materials after a three-week trial and were sentenced by a federal judge in Phoenix this week.

A defense lawyer, Steven Goldsobel, declined to comment Friday afternoon.

Prosecutors said that Mr. Kilbride and Mr. Schaffer, both 41, started their spamming business four years ago, earning more than $2 million in commissions.

They sent millions of unsolicited e-mail messages, prosecutors said. In nine months in 2004, Mr. Kilbride, Mr. Schaffer and an associate transmitted more than 600,000 spam messages advertising pornographic Web sites, according to court documents.

According to the indictment, Mr. Kilbride and Mr. Schaffer were paid commissions based on the number of people who accessed the Web sites using the spam messages.

Prosecutors said that after Congress in 2003 passed a law known as the Can-Spam Act cracking down on unsolicited pornographic e-mail messages, Mr. Kilbride and Mr. Schaffer tried to make it seem as if they were sending messages from abroad by logging in to servers in Amsterdam. But those messages originated from Phoenix, prosecutors said.

The two men were also ordered to forfeit $1.3 million.

Three other men charged in the case pleaded guilty and testified against Mr. Kilbride and Mr. Schaffer.

If you mail, just remember that other people in the chain like sponsors or software & proxy suppliers can and will rat you out. :2 cents

That's the perfect saying. Spammers five years in prison for emails like "hdcjdfsjkdsjdieuer check stock YTRWS~5%rentuns". Those are the only kind of spam emails I get nowadays, lol.

Good.

It should be a federal crime to flood any comunication system with unsolicited material.

I don't understand how they can send them to jail but the motherfuckers that love to call me at dinner time can get away with it.

Also, what about the postal mail spam?

My spam blocker blocks 99% of the spam out there so that doesn't bother me, but I would love to put the telemarketers away for life.

they tried to, and in the end that is part of what really got them. They moved their servers offshore, and set up companies in some BF Africa country to filter out the payments. So not only did they get hit for spam, but they got hit for money laundering as well.

More than 600,000 spam messages advertising pornographic Web sites, according to court documents.

LOL these guys are SMALLTIME. Only 600k messages? With a list they purchased???

Yeah great, a spammer busted. But now back to reality, this is our tax dollars being wasted on a couple smalltime spam punks - wheres the news about busting guys who harvest emails, sell lists, and spam MILLIONS of people??

This is so pathetic, the U.S. Government is beyond clueless when it comes to anything tech related.

OUR GODDAMN TAX DOLLARS PAY THESE IDIOTS PAYCHECKS.

Hard to think of actually sending anyone to jail at the taxpayers expense for sending spam (despite it's a pain in the butt).

It's all about money and better to hit their back pocket severely, tho doubt what a prosecutor may claim, - there is more funds siphoned off in other locations - assuming the spammers had sense.

I feel that the US needs stricter regulations on mailbox spam, starting with the credit card offers.
