Spammer loses!

Ruling Backs Anti-Spam Activist (TechNews.com)

This spammer will continue to get his just desserts. Spammer George A. Moore Jr. went to court to force Francis Uy, a tech specialist at Johns Hopkins University to take down his site exposing the spammer's activities.

He lost.

Uy's site encourages people to sue spammers under Maryland's anti-spam law, and it includes Moore's address and telephone number, which Moore claimed led to harassment by anti-spam vigilantes. Threatening phone calls were left on his answering machine, and he received dozens of products in the mail that he never ordered, including about 200 unwanted magazines and catalogues, he charged.

Can you say "Poetic Justice"?

Moore, who denies he is a spammer because he contracts with third parties to market his products...

Oh yes, I've heard that one. Anything that is not spam does not need to say "This is not spam" on it. Spammers lie.
