Warning: Do not spam this guy

"LONDON - Most people just grumble and hit delete, but when Gordon Dick received a spam message advertising Internet services, he fought back.

The 30-year-old Web marketing specialist from Edinburgh sued the sender, Transcom Internet Services Ltd., in small-claims court. The court ordered the company to pay $1,445 in damages and $1,190 in court costs"

Wow, if I got $1,445 for each piece of spam I ever got…I would be SUPER RICH!!!...

*samlar* · 11-03-2007

good for him

I just want someone to pay me a penny a day and double it everyday for a year.

*debro* · 11-03-2007

Lol

Not even slightly undeserved.

/me proposes a class-action lawsuit against all identified spam companies, and a fund set up to identify unidentified spam companies.

my Grandad used to tell me that he would work for anyone for a grain of corn a day and double it each day. When I got old enough to figure it out I realized he would have alot of corn after one year but I wanted pennies.

So, you are willing to travel to some remote country, track where the hell that spam came from and somehow manage finding the actual responsible company and/or person? These lawsuits don't work when the spambot is not in Europe.

^ No, I'll just use the easy button!

Death to all spammers. Good deal for that guy!

All spammers should die a slow, painful death - without the help of public assistance - and thereafter burn in Hell for all eternity without possibility of parole.

So... basically you're saying that spamming should be punished harder than any other crime including mass murder or genocide because it's a far greater crime?

Yeah, sorry about that. Telemarketers should have also been included on that list.

I live close to Edinburgh and this story has made the local news program on TV and been in the papers. I guess it's good to know you can at least have some revenge against the evil spam.

Genocide affected my (now dead) ancestors and relatives. Spam affects... me... at this moment. I think that's a big difference.
