在美國發廣告信判刑九年的案例

上看到新聞,經過陪審團的建議,法官相信北卡羅來納州的 Jeremy Jaynes 在一天內發出一千萬封 spam,而判重刑:

Jeremy Jaynes of Raleigh, NC now has the dubious honor of being the first spammer sentenced to jail for the felony of spamming. Virginia judge Thomas Horne sentenced Jaynes to 9 years in prison based on a jury recommendation after he was convicted of sending out 10 million e-mails a day.

雖然案子還在上訴中,不過對於 antispam 組織來說是一項相當好的消息。
