Some people in California were put in jail for spamming.  I think this is great and I hope it sends a message to people.  I hope there are more cases like this.  :burn:

Yeah, I something about that. They sent like 50 million spam emails from other people\'s computers.

Perhaps the forum spammers should beware now. :D

I disagree I don\'t think it was harsh enough.  Or it was plenty harsh enough.  I think they should get community service after they get out too.  Help out some little kids or something.  Im glad to see something like this happen.

Im not a vindictive person but I am glad that people are getting punished for their crimes.

jail for spamming? :D

they broke the privacy of other ppl, they deserved what they got.

Even better would have been a ban from computers ( like 10 years or something ) and huge bills to pay :)
