Sorry MM. I have my own board so I'm not here as much now.

:thefinger

Wow that sucks, hopefully those guys can beat the rap

bad news for all those not following can spam law

I know, and I'm still waiting for my invite. I feel so out of the loop. :(

I wonder what the hell x-rated has to do with anything. What is the big deal about a penis and vagina anyways? I hate the whole ordeal. Porn spam is no worse than insurance or quiz spam.

is it a mostly business related board? if so icq me with the url :pimp

:waaaaahh I haven't gotten an invite yet...

Those requirements are part of the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003, dubbed "Can Spam." Spammers who violate the rule face possible imprisonment and criminal fines of up to $250,000 for individuals and $500,000 for an organization.

Tracking down violators can be difficult because spammers often try to escape being directly identified by using forged return addresses or by bouncing their e-mails through unprotected relay computers on the Internet.

Harrington said the agency located the companies and individuals through e-mails consumers sent the FTC's data base in the spring. The defendants, who she said operate as one entity, are barred by the court action from sending out spam but are permitted to operate the web sites involved.

all you gfy'ers spam me you motherfuckers. i will turn you all in.

The Nevada companies named in the FTC complaint were Global Net Solutions Inc., Open Space Enterprises Inc., Southlake Group Inc., and WTFRC Inc., which does business as Reflected Networks Inc. Also named in the complaint were Global Net Ventures Ltd., of London and Wedlake Ltd., which the FTC said is reportedly based in Riga, Latvia.

Damn, one of my servers is on Reflected.net.
I hope it stays up.
