The poor guy I say, Why don't they arrest all those companies that send us all this junk in our mail (not email) everyday ? On top of that they waste so much paper, moving of bytes around is probably safer for our planet.

Just a thought
I guess email spam is much more evil, you need to invest a lot time to protect yourself against spam. Just imagine if someone is sending spam via YOUR (not so save) contact form

I read the story, being a spammer is the least of the charges levied against him, he is accused of mail fraud, wire fraud, e-mail fraud, aggravated identity theft and money laundering as well.

I read that story too---it's good that they nailed him. I guess most of us received junk in our boxes thanks to him.
