bad news for spammers From WTOP.com: First Person Convicted Under Va. Spam Law Sentenced LEESBURG, Va. - A North Carolina was sentenced to nine years in prison Friday for bombarding computer users with spam or illegal bulk email. Thirty-year-old Jeremy Jaynes of Raleigh is free on bond while the case is being appealed. Loudoun County Circuit Court Judge Thomas Horne said it was appropriate to defer any prison time pending an appeal, because the law is new and raises constitutional issues. It was the nation's first felony spamming conviction.
