** Fantastic news (if you hate spammers). **

Appeals Court Judges Sick Of Spam Too; Uphold Spammer Conviction

Last year, we were surprised that Jeremy Jaynes, admittedly one of  
the world's biggest spammers, received a nine-year prison sentence.  
While some form of punishment seemed reasonable (perhaps more for  
false advertising, than spam), nine years seemed excessive and silly.  
We'd much prefer forcing Jaynes to sit around deleting spam for a few  
years instead. Today, however, an appeals court upheld his conviction  
meaning he may finally begin the long, long sentence. The court  
specifically ruled that putting spammers in jail is "clearly not  
excessive." Perhaps it would be in the best interest of spammers to  
figure out how not to spam judges in the future.
