Which, coincidentally, is the same amount of other peoples' time that's been wasted on reading his emails.

Wow! I didn't realize that the spamming laws were so strict.

They should have sentenced him to spending his time with a computer that has been infected with spyware, adware, malware, data miners, and anything else they can throw at him without access to freeware programs to help him. Of course, the government has already had some problems with torture accusations.

Personally, I think they weren't strict enough. According to that article he was scamming $750,000 a month, and spamming insanely. He should have to pay a lot of money to all the people he's scammed.
