We all agree no contemporary means of punishment can satisfy our collective desire for retribution against email spammers. That said, the spectacle of spammers being tied up in knots by litigation is as satisfying as anything legal can be. John Leyden of The Register reports:
e360 Insight, the Illinois-based mass mailer suing Spamhaus for calling it a spammer, is being sued in California for spamming. David Linhardt, individually, and his firm e360 Insight are among the defendants in a lawsuit brought by William Silverstein, an aggrieved spam recipient. . . . [e360 Insight's] messages violated Federal anti-spam laws and California state laws because they were allegedly sent through compromised machines and with forged headers, offences against the Federal CAN-SPAM Act.
Mr. Silverstein is seeking statutory and punitive damages from e360. Godspeed, Sir.
Parting Sho[r]t: Spamhaus, spamming, spammer, spam. Hmmm.
