Come home today...and along with the rest of the day's assortment of unsolicited fodder (such as adds for penis enlargement drugs, viagra, online pharmacies, digital cable descramblers, credit card offers and also "send us money to get out of debt" or some other BS, and what not) someone sends me a piece of spam of their own younger sister naked (or at least that is what the subject line says).

Why in God's name would I have any interest in receiving this crap, and why would anyone want to go around sending pictures of their younger sister in her birthday suite? If I were his sister and he went doing something like that...it would probably be time to introduce him to a little number called the biatch slap. LOL What's going to be next, free pr0n of one's own mother? And of course this stuff is unsolicited...and despite that fact a bunch of spammers turned around and filed a lawsuite against anti-spam organizations for offering services which could block this crap.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/30368.html

A group of Florida-based porn peddlers, penis enlargement and Viagra spammers has united to file suit against anti-spam organisations.

Under the newly-registered name EmarketersAmerica.org, a front set up by notorious spammer Eddy Marin's lawyer Mark E. Felstein, the suit seeks to force prominent anti-spam organisations to stop blocking their spam.

A long list of individuals and anti-spam organisations preventing bulk mailers from getting their spam out, including the UK-based Spamhaus Project and Spews.org, are listed in the suit.

The civil action law-suit, filed on April 14, seeks an injunction against anti-spam organisation on behalf of the plaintiffs. It also seek damages of $75,000 (plus interest and costs) against the defendants on five separate counts: blacklisting IP addresses of the plaintiffs, libel, invasion of privacy, the publication of allegedly false information and "intentional interference with a contract".

Steve Linford, of The Spamhaus Project, told us the law suit was without merit and purely motivated by an attempt to waste the time and energy of those fighting against the spam menace.

"Spammers will try anything. These lawsuits are intended to tie you up in defending it, wasting time and money," said Linford....

Interference with a business contract! With whom? I never signed a contract to have my inbox invaded like this... LOL :spank:

bah, this isn't freedom of speech, it is invasion of privacy, their actions are not protected under law or any part of our constitution. I say we all arm ourselves, head to FL and seek retribution:lol:

Thats a idea I agree with:D How can they complain about having their IP blacklisted. Also for the guy in the UK, I'm not too sure but I think Spam is illegal over here now (that doesn't stop it much:rolleyes: ) so he should be safe from the idiots. They should be shot:mad:

Can it really be libel if it was true?

Yeah these spammers are getting a "bit" out of control.

Instead of attacking the spammers, i guess people should start attacking the people (ie. the companies) that pay these spammers. If they make spamming illegal, then those who sponsor it should be made to pay too. Start sueing those penis enlarger and viagra companies:D

The method they use for sending spam is also illegal. They bribe some one working at an ISP to provide them with a line access since most ISP's block such type of spam messages.

And it is ridiculuous having the name eMarketersAmerica... it should be eMarketersNigeria or some other country like that.

Thats my idea. Obviously the law of the land can't stop spammers, so its up to us and our sniper rifles. Who's with me?

What hypocrites, sheesh :p Ya know, another good one they played on one of these spammers was to organize a campaign on slashdot and tell the Chinese government that this spammer who was using an ISP out from China was divulging Chinese miltary secrets in email... Not that I haven't heard it alleged that some terrorists use porn mail to send messages to one another, as government officials aren't technically supposed to look at porn while on the job... I know matter of factly that Sandia National Laboratory (which is locally located and on Kurtland Airforce base) has a very strong anti-pornography policy, with only so many allowances allowed (for accidental hits) before a person can be fired on site.

They were closed down so fast and had to find a new ISP :lol: That was preceding the campaign where this spammers email address, home address, and telephone number...where everyone online annoyed by getting spam could sign him up for a few things. No that was no anti-spam company involved, just individuals on slashdot who got annoyed by it all.

And of course with how indescriminate some of these spammers are...I've even heard some females inquire as to why they get penis enlargement products advertised to them, and in one case a lady was most annoyed, and I know matter of factly she's a lawyer, though she also teaches Tia Chi (with another individual) which is where I know her from. Nothing like going to check the email to see if one's students have contacted them or asked them about anything...to get about 300 penis enlargement and viagra spams instead.
