The courts will see this as a "victimless" crime and give him a 2 month
sentence, under house arrest, blah, blah, blah, ginger.
Then companies can sue him in civil court for losses they can
document...
Can you document your monetary losses from SPAM from a specific
source?? I know that I can't. That's what they count on.
If they really wanted to stop SPAM they would, by making a mandatory 1
year in jail for conviction of sending a single piece of SPAM. That
would make the punishment too great to risk committing the crime. Why
do you think so many people break the speed limit? Not because they are
unlikely to get caught, but if they do get caught, the punishment is
only a small fine and traffic school (which you can now take at home in
most states).
The bottom line is that this is a political way to say they are doing
something about the problem without spending a lot of money or effort on
a problem they see as a nuisance.
