Spammer falls foul of the law

Half a century ago spam fed most of Europe. These days the word spells trouble for computer users. Unwanted emails clog up networks and inboxes. And office staff waste valuable time identifying and deleting them. Employers have been fighting spam for more than a decade, but a recent court ruling suggests the law could soon be joining the battle.

This makes me laugh, a 'spammer arrest' from one of the places who generates 80% of it. And don't even bother complaining with 'ITS CHINA!' no, spammers just pay chinese bulletproof hosting services.

If you only give your email to friends, family, and only important sites then you will not recieve spam. I usually recieve only one spam messages a week and that automatically is entered into my junk box.
