AOL Spammer Given Slammer

http://www.boostmarketing.com/story.php?id=904

Jeremy Jaynes of North Carolina has been sentenced to nine years for spamming AOL users with millions of unsolicited email ads. Judge Thomas Horne has postponed the jail term due to potential constitutional issues of the new anti-spamming law.

The bulk email operator sent 10 million e-mails a day and made around $750,000 dollars a month from his mega spam business. Jaynes is but one of the many major spam merchants who make millions every year from filling our inboxes with junk.

Jeremy Jaynes [is] the head of a lucrative spam business that he operated from his home with help from his sister and codefendant, Jessica DeGroot, and a third defendant, Richard Rutkowski. They said they used phony Internet addresses to send more than 10,000 spam e-mails to America Online subscribers on three days in July 2003.

That boy is going to have one sore ass :lol:

I've never spammed in my life but it pisses me off that the government does this cause you can be DAMN sure that if they could make money off of spam they would encourage it. Spam is no different than spam snail mail except the government doesn't get paid for spam. on the net.

Done right and with (as Nick pointed out) a non iffy product email (not spam) can be a good little earner.

Done wrong and it seems you need to learn how to say "yes sir" with your mouth/ass full :lol:

Does double-opt in take some of the pain out of emailing?

To a point yes but to a point no :blink:

They've just changed the laws on email marketing here in the UK and you'll do time for sending spam emails!

However double opt-in is proof that you're sending emails to someone that really wanted to get what you were offering, this is where the line is thin, if they signed up for free xxx pics and you send them emails for meds then it's then it's no longer classed as relevant to the subject matter that the opted to receive and is therefore spam :(

9 years in jail for spam? thats retarded. its a harmless "crime" in reality. i can't see how time is wasted on this crap.


This means that the feds spent less time putting this guy away than putting eric rudolph, the olympic and abortion clinic bomber, who actually KILLED people, away. talk abotu a wolrd turned upside-down, does spam really HURT anyone?

and once again ill bring up the fact that i throw out about 2 lbs of spam regular mail a day, and that is encouraged by the USPS.
