stevestojan Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Wow... how incredibly messed up this is. NINE YEARS for sending spam? The worst he has done is make you or I go "damn, another junk email" and then right click and delete. There are people that abuse and torture children, commit armed robberies, and even some murderers who don't get 9 years. Man, this is ridiculous.

Read again how many spam messages this guy sent and try to think how many man hours deleting these messages takes. We're in a global economy and the US needs all the help it can get to compete with China and all the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, to delete 2100 pieces a week takes me a grand total of about 10 seconds. Shift-click to highlight and delete them all. No, I take that back, it's less than 10 seconds. People act like it kills them. My point is that, yes, it's an annoyance, it has probably lost some (but not the billions of dollars like some want to say) productivity. However, the guy hasn't hurt anyone. It is a white collar crime. 9 years? Please, fine him until he goes bankrupt and but him under house arrest without a computer for a few years. But prison? You have to be kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcrusho Posted April 8, 2005 Author Share Posted April 8, 2005 1) I say we kill him! Yeahhhh! 2 )I say we hang him then we kill him! Yeahhhh! 3) I say we stomp him! Yehh! 3) Then we Tattoo him!

Make light of the it all you want, this is a major headache and hinderence to the US economy. 10 million spams a day. 36.5 billion spams a year. ...and you're defending this joker????

It's a crime, and the guy should do the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawgg Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 jesus christ guys let it go we all know that sooner or later something else will pop up even with the most stringent legilslation that will bombard us with ads and crap.and for the recors, steve was not defewnding him. only a maroon such as yourself would take his words so damn literal. he simply stated that there are worse offenses that have less harsh punishments. is that defending the guy?? he DID say that he believes the guy should get punished in some way. If i recall he said the guy should get fined to bankruptcy which I agree is a good sentence as well. putting him away is a waste of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinter21 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I agree with steve as well. however it stated in the article that he was going to appeal. and it seems like hes going to win too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarthur31 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Sorry, Steve-O, he got off with a slap on the wrist. Virus writers should at least get double the sentence for their constant b.s. People like him are f&@%ing with hundreds of millions of people's live not just a few violent victims. Murderers and the like should get mandatory sentences of at least 20 years and I'm with you there but our justice system is a joke right now.
