The First Conviction

Spammers have to be more worried now.  They are going
to be facing jail time.  Spoems.com tries to make lemonade
out of the lemons sent to our e-mail boxes everyday: it isn't
a solution.  Is giving someone nine years in jail a solution?

RICHMOND, Va. - A divided Virginia Supreme Court
affirmed the nation's first felony conviction for illegal
spamming on Friday, ruling that Virginia's anti-spamming
law does not violate free-speech rights.

Jeremy Jaynes of Raleigh, N.C., considered among the
world's top 10 spammers in 2003, was convicted of massive
distribution of junk e-mail and sentenced to nine years in prison.
