They are definately from the same person. With fake names also. He (the

'Victor Coutand is a fabricated identity for the purposes of the study.'
Same for all other 'profiles' he made up.
And obviously he feels its ok to make up profiles, spam thousands of
scraped adresses....
The background of the mails came as a total surprise to me: I would not have
guessed that.
Even if this person was totally clueless of what's acceptable, the echo from
their first spamming campaign using scraped addresses and fake sender
identities last spring should have alerted them that this was not going to
end well. It was clear from public forum messages and blog posts how
alarming their deceptive messages were to the recipients. Given the
penalties of the privacy laws whose implementation they were studying, that
should not have surprised them but the public responses also made it
obvious. And yet more than half a year later they started again, using the
exact same mode of operation!
They were not just clueluess but *indifferent* to the outcome they would
produce and nobody at their universities stopped them. That was what I found
the most shocking.
