Ohio Lawmakers OK Bill That Sends Spammers to Jail

[piaqt]

...If signed into law, it would outlaw Internet ads that are deceptive or misleading and ban people from setting up false accounts to send spam, the junk e-mail that clogs consumers' online mailboxes and taxes the resources of Internet service providers.

The measure would also allow the state attorney general to impose criminal and civil sanctions against spammers.

Burn in hell spammers. :D But, I'd rather see a drug dealer, child molester or a rapist in prison. Just sue the hell out of spammers.. break them financially.. make it so they have to continue paying for the entire span of their life.. that will hurt them more than any prision time.. besides in prison, the tax payer is footing the bill.

If they do go to prison, I think the state should liquidate all their assets to pay for their time in prison :D Takes the burden off the tax payer.
