Good maybe I won't have to delete my Hotmail account now! The sad part is there are legitment businesses sending advertisement out among all the crap and they will probably be affected by this. Maybe they just need to narrow it done to just pron.

Awesome!

I read on ARS Technica that unsolicited e-mail carries a $500 fine for each one sent. but hardly anyone reports them. Well to increase the number of fines given they will now give 10% of the Fine to the person who reported them. So you can be a Spam bounty hunter and get $50+ for each Spam company you report!

Okay, well I live in Virginia. So, if I come around the corner after CP 2 in Avanti and some Demoman is on the ramp outside the door sending a steady stream of tumbling blue containers of death into that little room with the ammo pack... I'm going to alert the authorities!

And don't even get me started on MIRVs.

Well at least it's a start.
It'll take a few years to get going much, but eventually I'll slowly start to recieve less Spanish-language spam

Spam is a pain...but a felony?? And if you fine some guy 2 million you might as well fine him 2 Billion.....the amount they collect will be the same....zippy.

Can't squeeze blood from a turnip.

Now if only Bill Gates got caught sending spam....cha-ching $$.
