Brilliant. I guess spammers and email marketing companies have more rights
than consumers. Yet again, individual/corporate rights supercede any sense
of ethics. Interesting that the US leads the world in spam by about 3 to
1, and we have yet to see any effective legislation or real effort put into
stopping it.

..........the more spam I get, the better I understand the motivations behind
why the mafia became a means of achieving justice within a population that
felt disenfranchised by the entrenched political power structure.

This really is more of a pissing match than anything else, and won't really
effect anyone. The Spamhaus guys say (I think correctly) that the Illinois
court has no jurisdiction to make the order and refused to contest it. So
the judge didn't have a lot of options.

Also, there are other ways to get spam blacklists, including other ways to
get the Spamhaus list. Trust me, if my spam trap suddenly quits working 'There's
this court case in Illinois' is not going to cut it with the powers that
be in my office.

I think it would be cool to just go out and find some spammers and make
examples of them by stripping them naked and throwing them in a pit full of
man eating pigs and post the vid on UTube

...........uhhhh.......sorry....long night.........where's my coffee?

Maybe it's because I do what I do for a living, but email spam bothers me
far less than junk mail or phone telemarketing. Our spam trap works well
enough we get close to zero false positives and maybe 10 spams through in
a day. The false positives is a huge one. We're down to getting maybe 1 per
month in the spam trap that shouldn't be there. I get hundreds of emails
through three addresses every day as well.

But it is annoying, yes.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but this is actually a recruiting tool for

I hope you are right. I assume the court is just blowing smoke (why I really
don't understand), unless they can get ICANN to comply and force the ruling
by proxy (which, imho, shouldn't be a legal approach).
